thank you very much for your email. Unfortunately we have to charge 19% VAT also for orders outside of the EU. The reason for that is, that we do not have any receipt, that our products were shipped outside of the European Union. If we had this receipt we wouldn’t have to charge it, but it is very expensive to ship with this receipt."
Here in Ontario we have to charge the tax IF picked up in person. If it is shipped to another address outside of Ontario NO TAX. Give me a break on the receipt argument, you can prove you did not sell it to someone locally as you have your shipping info to show this took place. The key thing is that the customer does not get the goods until they are delivered to the address outside of Ontario. Buying in person and putting your home address as another province does not cut it. You have to ship directly. If I buy from a store in BC, I don't pay the BC sales tax *IF* I have it shipped to me in Ontario. If I am in BC and buy in person while on vacation I have to *PAY* it as I am buying in person.
