    but if you bough stuff at Amazon.co.uk, you paid tax. right?
    and they get to keep that from the gov. wicked.

    • Check your invoice. If VAT was paid, it likely went to the Revenue. The article is about corporation tax (income tax).raf
    • i was thinking about sales tax.akrok
    • VAT is not an equivalent of US sales tax but close. EU is working on forcing importer's VAT rates on all imports,raf
    • ...now it varies, sometimes it's the importing country's rate sometimes the exporting one's.raf
    • Generally, in B2B transaction buyer pays his local rate. In consumer transactions, it depends.raf
