Good point, here's an example: EU VAT, which obliges companies selling digital goods in Europe to store customer and transaction details for 10 years.

How does this work with digital stores (Steam/App Store/Play Store)? Do you even get that data from them as a developer?

I think those stores take care of VAT and all the requirements around that, so the developer doesn't need to worry about it. That's what the 30% cut is for.
