VAT is not the only tax to be paid in the EU. Not to mention they pay less VAT than the local businesses through various schemes(i.e registering the company that makes the sale in a country with lower VAT)

That doesn't work anymore and it only worked for small volumes, not bigger retailers. They previously needed a VAT number from the state the custumer was in, which was very cumbersome. Now they just add the destination state's VAT on the invoice and I think the VAT is settled between states.

Do they? The Amazon invoices I receive have German VAT.
