Why VAT tax on online shopping please someone clarify?
I bought a software online during payment there was extra charges other than the software cost. I contacted software company and they said we do not know why their processing company is charging.
I made payment using PayPal and later contacted the payment processing company and explained that I live in Japan a why did they charge VAT.
After few e-mail exchange they sent this message
Thank you for contacting the online store.
Please be advised that VAT is not only charged on orders placed within the European Union. It is not a charge imposed by our company but by your own country, city or locale.
You will need to contact your local tax authorities for an explanation
about this tax charge.
I also cleared this matter from PayPal Japan and they said they do not charge VAT.
So, question is even if I am not in EU country and the vendor/seller is then am I liable for that VAT?
Any clarification in this regard will be appreciated
Thank you

4 AnswersPhotography8 years agoJapanese Killer Bee or not killer Bee?
Do you think they were Japanese Killer Bees?
I had noticed whenever I open Net door to go to the balcony some very big bees started flying near door. I thought it could be by chance. But those bees were not normal they were very Big/Long that worried me. In short, one day I found out they had nest on the metal(a bracket used to hand cloth in Japan). In a protective way, I pushed that nest with a bar and that nest fell down on the floor.
Guess what? so many bees appeared out side of the (Net) door as they were angry at me. And many were coming out from the broken nest. From inside I used Bees killer spray but some did not die rather flew away. Next day they were still coming out of the nest so I used Bleach on the nest and forget them. After 3 weeks when today I wanted to take photos, some bees appeared from distance that is why I had taken very few photos.
Please take a look and inform me if they are Killer Bees? Do they remember if I am the one who messed with them?
You can find images here.
