I mean no offense, but here in the US, I never knew this directive existed, let alone how to comply with it. Will some group in the EU pay me to collect their taxes for them? If not, why should I bear the expense? And particularly so since I already have to bear the expense of my local tax laws. --Essentially, it seems this far reaching EU law exists to please some political purpose, like pretending to level a playing field, but as far as I know, it's mostly ignored or unknown outside of the EU (and possibly within the EU as well).
