Calm down, guys, please! Immer schön locker...
If I "mis-interpreted" "HermanTheGermans" nickname...sorry.....but at least, some refreshing of history....
As to VAT....very complicated and always! depending on the individual situation of company/owner/base etc etc....
Get a very! experienced lawer and tax-consultant...( with excellent knowledge of international VAT implications )
As to M- vs VP- Reg....see comment above...

We were considering VP/M - Register and ended up with CH-......
VAT paid....
Nice Sunday, safe flights
