Carol Haynes:
Do you issue a receipt for payment? If so another solution would be to issue a VAT receipt to EU businesses and they can claim back the VAT themselves - they do it all the time because many suppliers don't supply pre-tax.

but then, IIUC, josant would have to pay the VAT to [not sure who exactly - some government!]

Carol Haynes:
To be able to offer this service he would need to be VAT registered too which means regular VAT returns so it can be done that way.

Alternatively put a VAT registration field on the form the purchaser fills at purchase in then apply the ex-VAT price if it is a VAT registered business ?

You can validate the VAT registration manually via: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/ before dleivering the software or you can automate this before submitting the payment request. See https://www.servage.net/blog/2009/05/25/validation-of-eu-vat-numbers/ and the full API details at http://isvat.appspot.com/

CCavenue (If you're from US or India) and Authorize.net can handle paypal and multiple other payment processors inside their gateway solution. I have limited success with Okpay service but it is quite costly for gateway solution to bank withdrawals process.

After trying to use PayPal as my initial provider, I would probably say that it is so much work that it isn't even worth it... The issue of not handling EU VAT is a major oversight by PayPal unless it's there and I just haven't found the right settings...
