. Although I expect that to rise to 20% pretty soon.

I really hope that doesn't turn out to be true..

We don't have a tax for internet goods! We only have VAT which is charged at the point of sale.
What are you talking about?

I meant that....

As a FYI for those outside the UK, we have a flat 17.5% to be charged on most goods, no-matter if they are bought online or in-store. Although I expect that to rise to 20% pretty soon.

20%... That will be something to look forward to

Internet sales tax?!? How does that work? Every time you make a purchase online they add a tax? Or do you just mean that your price for internet will have a tax added to it but otherwise shopping online and whatnot is not taxed?

Some states are considering imposing a internet tax for goods and services bought online. They claim that they are losing revenues by the shoppers who choose to internet shop. Just another way to come up with money, you know how the government is.
