There is no VAT exchanged in those cases (company - to - company deals), so nobody needs to have the cash. But in the worst cae you always get it back anyway.
No Alpi. States would get very poor if there was no VAT tax and you are aloud to buy outside your country (but in the EU) without ever paying VAT. If you buy in Germany, the German company sells it to you without VAT, but you need to pay the VAT in Austria the country that receives the goods..
I think you just 'forgot' to pay the VAT...
Here are the rules: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/index_en.htm
