As a solo indiehacker in Europe, its crazy that I have to be so worried about VAT related things and big tech just goes around the whole thing and doesn't even expect to be charged just fined

You only have to be worried if you're doing something illegal, like the guys in the article. Misfiling something won't land you in jail, just some fines at the most. Intent matters quite a bit.

“ just some fines at the most. “

That’s ok for the big players with deep pockets. For the little guy this is a much bigger problem. As it should. It would just be nice if law breaking would be a bigger problem for the bigger companies too.

When you're not wealthy, "some fines at most" can be a really nasty setback

		No really the fines in line with the profits and your intent. Businesses who get into trouble because of taxes are doing it intentionally. Or somebody in the company does it intentionally.
