Well, according to that article, Books On Board told a Canadian customer that:
The publisher territory restrictions prevent users from purchasing titles from retailers who are not in their same country. They are designed to ensure that ebook purchases in countries where these are taxed cannot avoid paying taxes by shopping abroad.
I've read a lot about geographic restrictions these last couple of years, but this is the first time I've heard of them being explained as a way of stopping tax avoidance.
