You need an EU VAT ID to accepts payments from EU citizens. So they will revoke that and then you can't accept payments from EU.

This was mentioned before: No, you don’t.
Millions of business around the world accept transactions from EU citizens every day without collecting any VAT or having any relationship with the EU.
For starters, if you don't take payment and aren't in the EU, EU enforcement power is going to be extraordinarily limited. And even if you do require payment, if you don't have a physical nexus in the EU, it's unclear what exactly the EU can do?
I think the GDPR was basically aimed at some of the scummier adtech practices and businesses like Facebook, and for those, it will be very enforceable.
