I just don't agree when Country's are using overseas purchases as a money grab. It seems like most are seeing this as an easy political tax that a politician really doesn't have to answer for unlike raising taxes for the general population. In this day an age where the world is getting smaller an individuals can buy things from all over I would imagine its going to be put to use in more countries. My take on taxes like this is that its Okay for a country to tax International purchases if the product an individual is purchasing is available for purchase within its own borders. But if the product is not available to purchase withing ones borders then it should be tax/duty free IMO. Of course a business who purchases from abroad who is going to sell the product they should be taxed but individual purchasing individual items should not.
Do you still have to pay the Tax for people sending items marked as Gifts?
