EU VAT is only due on AUTOMATED transactions. Communicating by email and
attachments does NOT constitute "Digital Services"...

If your product requires a key (i.e. they are buying a key to the software)
and you take the time to send your customer a personal email with the key,
my understanding is this is a MANUAL transaction and so falls outside the
scope of the legislation. If the key is issued automatically, then it does
fall in the scope of the legislation.

This is my understanding of this mess. I am not a lawyer and you should make
up your own mind whether you are affected or not.
