(...) and in europe it's free of VAT

Care to point me to where you got that information from? I would really appreciate it!
You can have a look at here European Court of Justice Official Proposes Bitcoin VAT Exemption (https://99bitcoins.com/weekly-round-up-bitcoin-exempt-vat-europe-core-version-0110-released-more/)

Thanks! So not black and white, as the supreme administrative court proposed that the swedish court should reply vat exempt, it didn't rule that it is vat exempt. It doesn't prevent any EU state to locally overrule that proposal but it does provide some guidance when local tax agencies start procrastinating to avoid making a decision, so that's great.
