At least in Spain a company will usually be able to avoid VAT on purchases they make. It is true that they charge and collect VAT on their sales to consumers. The majority off tax paid by these companies is on what they pay their employees.

This is very hard in reality though especially on goods from abroad; your NIE has to be on the invoice officially (which companies like BA do not do for you and I flew with them a lot for business) and while this is not strictly enforced, I got slapped many times on valid business purchases. The gestor told me to just deduct 75% of the deductible vat to not get onto the radar. Ugh.

This is too real. The ultimate tax is on your time, especially as a foreigner.
