I'm running one of those companies affected by this and it is a huge pain in the behind. For many of the countries the administrative fees are a large multiple of the amounts due.
On top of that they're a bunch of incompetents, I got hit with a 4500 euro 'overdue' notice from the Irish tax department which they pulled entirely out of thin air. It's a huge annoyance and I'll be more than happy if this goes away or if I simply have to pay the dutch high VAT tariff.
Amazon got to reap the benefit of their tax avoidance scheme for years and small businesses end up with the balance of the burden.
