Bandcamp haven’t sorted themselves out. They still put the onus on bands, where it often makes no sense to be VAT registered? Who does the VAT? The singer? The drummer? Just handing over info doesn’t help.

There is a much better solution for bandcamp that they could easily do if they wanted. By taking control of the download link, the B2B clause kicks in i.e. they become the ‘3rd party store’. That means bands don’t need to register for VAT.

I have only found one payment provider so far that also uses this clause. By giving you the option of letting them provide the download link, they can get you out of registration. They do the VATMOSS.

I bet more payment providers will start offering a ‘download link’ option.
