Need advice on an Internet Business involving 3 countries

Hi,

I already posted this in teh Finance Forum, but I think it was not the right place.
So I am posting it again in this forum.
Sorry for the replication.

I need to share opinions on the following issue before contacting any on line payment organization:

I am in the process of setting up an on line service for UK, Spain and Italy.
At the moment my company is a sole trader registered company.

My big confusion is on the following:
1) I registered the company in UK when I was leaving there.
2) I have now moved back to Italy but the company is still registered in UK although of course Inland Revenue has been notified of the move.

Now, if I have a Spanish customer which needs to pay for my service and I will be using one of the credit card on line payment systems, where the VAT is going to be paid?
1) In Spain because the customer who receives my service is Spanish?
2) In UK because the company is registered in UK and the VAT is applied in the country where the company is registered?
3) In Italy because I am now resident in Spain and being a sole trader company it is like saying it is just me?

Please note I do not provide goods to the customers but WEB services.

Many thanks in advance.
I hope you can help me

Dani
