Down here, we have no VAT on imports under $1000 gross - that's a shade above £600.
With the comparative fall of other currencies including GBP and USD, internet shopping's become a right playground for Australians with bargains left right and centre. However, the local retailers are grumbling, and slowly twisting the Gov't into closing this loophole. Can't see it being here in twelve months...
So - myself and many others, are frantically spending much as we can overseas (not that we have local industry to protect anymore) while it's this good.
I reckon it's good for car enthusiasts, too, as more is being invested into projects. Proof that not paying tax can be fun?
Cheers, Adam.
