I was wondering this myself; does Apple include their VAT information in EU? They are a company in Luxemburg and Ireland; which one sends the checks and does it include their EU VAT number if it's the Luxemburg SARL? Basically in the EU if you do business with a company, you don't have to pay VAT.
On the other side, for the buyers the 'invoice' contains nothing about VAT and their have been lively discussions if there is VAT, should be VAT and if there is how freelancers/companies can get that VAT back (again, company-company payments don't have to pay VAT, but getting it back across borders can be quite hard, especially when it is unclear if there is any).
