Yeah, it's abit insane. I spent a week or so implementing this for my saas not long ago.

Hopefully this will change in 2018 for companies making less than 100k EUR/month: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/digital-s...

Let's hope so, though I fear this will be a case of "too little, too late" for many small businesses. It's been more than two years now since the new system was introduced, and it seems many micro-businesses have already ceased trading as a result. Slightly larger businesses have probably either taken on significant extra compliance costs or ceased trading with customers elsewhere in the EU. All of that damage has already been done. :-(
