I'd imagine for small companies in the US, if they ignore VAT nothing will happen. There is no way the US courts will get involved with enforcing EU taxes and EU enforcement is fairly laid back in that they are not going to arrest you if you go on hols. If the company has assets in the EU however the courts can go after them so Google, Amazon etc will have to pay. I fear Digital Ocean are going to start charging me VAT which they have not so far.
