Doesn't seem correct, at least for Holland.
As far as I'm aware, as a seller in The Netherlands, you only have to charge VAT for buyers that are also in The Netherlands.

therefore, VAT is paid based on customer location.
this does not mean that you dont have to pay VAT at all if you sell to germany. in that case, you ahve to pay german VAT. if youre smalltime enough, its likely that nobody will go after you, but thats what it is.
not worth all the bureaucracy.
The bigger problem is that these rules were made to target companies like spotify and amazon who are large enough to simply work around the rule, effectively penalizing SMBs without any upside.
Highly annoying.
[edit] Maybe I misunderstood. In what situation do you think you don't have to pay Dutch VAT, and what's the source of your information?
>Over het algemeen brengt u geen btw in rekening aan ondernemers uit andere EU-landen. Bij goederen past u dan het 0%-tarief toe en bij diensten wordt de btw naar uw klant verlegd.
In general, you should not charge VAT to entrepreneurs from other EU-countries. For goods, the 0%-tariff applies. For services, the VAT is transferred to the client. (Which means they need to declare the transaction and pay VAT in their country, which has nothing to do with your transaction with them).
However, VAT MOSS has no threshold. That means small businesses now have to make a decision between keeping that extra £17k and not selling to the EU or selling to the EU and forgoing the £17k tax break.
Awfully designed system.
