And how do you pay these VATS? I have looked for some countrie's tax websites and those are not even in English. I found that UK has this done best, online forms and such, but otherwise I found it impossible to do without some representative in particular countries. And there are 28 EU countries.

What changed is that before you could register to pay VAT in any given EU country and pay the VAT rate for that country for all your sales within the EU.
Since all countries have different rates this was "abused" because people would setup their company in whatever country had the lowest VAT rate for your product (the VAT can be different based on the product / service you are selling)
The law changed to stop that "abuse" so now everyone has to pay VAT based on the billing / shipping address of the customer.
