EU folks: What are the tax etc. implications if I, as a non EU resident/citizen with no existing business connection to the EU, want to offer a paid training at a conference in Europe? Do I have to collect VAT or sales tax or something along those lines? Or if I'm not a European citizen/business or collecting less than X million EUR in the tax year am I tax-exempt?
Is this such a paperwork nightmare I shouldn't even attempt it unless an existing EU entity wants to handle all of this and just contract with me for my time?
