We have the same VAT here with both ebooks and pbooks, %8. No other tax. Some of the foreign stores aren't paying the tax to the government and that is a problem.

Google Play Books adds the tax to the price and gives government her portion, so I try to buy mainly from them because of that this days.

Generally speaking, I don't understand why people would try to escape from fair taxes. You went to the public school, didn't you? If you didn't, I am sure you at least got some medical services, or used the roads, or just took advantage of some of the government services you are not paying directly for. This has nothing to the with political ideas or patriotism, I am an anarchist myself politically. But I am living here, this means I have agreed to pay for the benefit I am enjoying. Tip for tap, you know?

But, I am not saying that a tax can't be unfair, and people have every right to complain about it. But e-books are very new, our laws relating to the taxing of ebooks are just changed last year. Give it some time; meanwhile, find some truly unfair taxes to complain about.
