Yes, it's likely to be difficult to enforce in many cases.

Yet it is still the law and companies like BlueSnap which has their entire focus of their whole company on processing money transactions would probably be easier targets for them to focus on.

So I suspect that is why BlueSnap is very strict about complying with the your country's tax code.

But this is not something that BlueSnap is deciding to do on their own - it is your own country that has demanded that this tax is due, they are the ones that you would need to complain to about those rules.

Sorry for the difficulty,
