Correction, the
manufacturer avoids Australian taxes, while presumably paying them in Singapore.
The individual buying the device pays sales tax, correct?
And JB HiFi pays income tax on the sale of the device too, I'd assume.
Sounds like the Australian gov't is looking around for even
more tax revenue. If so, it should be as easy as tweaking their laws to add import taxes or such.
