I should add to my previous post that Amazon's response shows its typical long term outlook. It is establishing an international store which will top-up items available on the Australian site with some products previously only available from the UK. I suspect it is anticipating that other countries will follow Australia's lead. I suspect that this international site will cater for the actions of such other country. When they implement the offending regime Amazon will simply prevent its other stores from shipping to that country and implement the changes to cater for the new tax on one single site, the International one. A much better alternative than implementing these taxes individually in every store. A good solution for Amazon to Government stupidity. Not so good for consumers forced to the International store.
