But your country can impose some tax, when the product arrive in your country a tax could by applied. It's the same thing in Europe, if someone buy in Thailand, the tax (roughly 20 %) could be applied.
In France, the tax is 20 % and called "TVA" : http://www.economie.gouv.fr/cedef/ta...ion-europeenne, for Booxtor it's 19 %, you could find the details here : http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs...t_rates_fr.pdf |
So there are NO INDIRECT TAXES and not IMPORT DUTIES in Thailand for something coming from China to Thailand and that is the reason why in Thailand is 20% cheaper for Thailand citizens. Sorry but I do not understand your reasons.
I have said that in Thai is 349 for Thai citizens Thailand tax included if any (it is the final price as far as I understood and there are no additional taxes) and in Europe (in booxtor store to be specific) 415 with the 20% of overprice. Did I forgot anything?
By the way you do not need to explain me the indirect tax in Europe, because I am from Spain and here the indirect tax is 21%.
If you want to know the right reason of the overprice (which is evident) you should ask to the seller who sells this in Europe. I have a Onyx M90 bought in artatech and when ereader-store came I was very glad to see a competitor selling this ebook. But now artatech has gone and ereader-store can sells this ebook at whatever price they want, there is not another way to buy this ebook in europe as far as I know. If there is any other place tell me please, I want yo know it.
