My software floats in cyberspace and is a personal offering rather than 
linked to my company
(which is a company based in Bulgaria solely for computer maintenance, 
educational software
development and EFL teaching inwith the boundaries of Bulgaria): so, if 
somebody pays me for
an item of software I produce (and the money goes into a PayPal account 
linked to a Scottish
bank) the whole thing is extremely odd re who charges VAT and to whom, 
where?

This, is like many things associated with the internet, a bit of a 
wobbly area, and one that greedy nation states
are trying to muscle in on, but are going to find it hard to do.
