DAMMIT Google ! DAMMIT new EU VAT policies !
My income has dropped 18-20% now because Google is collecting and remitting EU VAT. :(
Vast majority of my customers are in EU.
Instead of getting 70 cents per dollar, now we get 58 cents.
Yeah, It's not Google's fault perhaps, except that Google's share remains at 30% and the devs seem to take the full hit.

Yes, my EU sales were previously skirting EU VAT taxes. No I didn't really care much about following laws of another country, while following those of my own home of Canada.
Was I stealing EU jobs ? Or causing any substantial harm to the EU by not dealing with VAT ? I don't think so, but admit there is some "technical" harm in not following foreign sales tax laws.
In Canada, such taxes (GST, a VAT) are often done by buyers on the honor system, which almost nobody honors. My Canadian sales are low so I don't have to collect GST/VAT here.
Anyway, the end result is that my income has had ANOTHER big drop.
This sucks !
Maybe Paypal would be better. I've heard MANY evil stories about Paypal, so I dunno. But at least 95% or better gets through the seller, instead of the 58% now with Google Play.
