Even if you charge EU customers for goods and services, you end up having to collect and store personal information in order to provide evidence to tax authorities that you collected and paid the right amount of VAT for each country.

that's not in violation with the GDPR at all. (it's also nothing that anybody is really concerned about).

What's really being affected on the backend side of things is bulk data collection and storage and sharing with 3rd parties without consent.
