I think it's now considered a purchase in the country of the purchase, at least for VAT purposes. And some of the US companies like Airbnb and LinkedIn now operate through European subsidiaries.

In those circumstances the U.K. automatically leaves the EU after the two years with no treaty governing its future relationship with the bloc. Trade in and out of the bloc is organised by default on WTO rules and tariffs.
Having said that, many don't see that as a major problem...

Many Conservative politicians may not but most businesses do.

I agree. Although I doubt it would bring the EU crashing down, it wouldn't do it any favours either.
