The VAT tax is not a Sales Tax. It’s a manufacturing hurdle. Dell builds a CPU and puts Vista on it. Value has been added. Tax it. I take that CPU and install our software on it. Value has been added. Tax it. Every CD I install with an additional art product on adds value. Tax it.
I will make a fortune bypassing these taxes as a smuggler and tax cheat, I would consider it to be my patriotic duty... bring it on ... it guarantees the RATS defeat.
