Yes. And what's even worse from Fictionwise's point of view, they also have to make separate payments to each EU government of a country where they have customers.
The EU has done this so that people who live in the EU can't avoid paying VAT on electronic purchases. Otherwise EU vendors would be more expensive and get less business.
