dinosaur harvey pleas for online tariffs , page-29

Hi All,
Think people may be missing one point.
Goods sourced in Australia pay tax, goods from outside Australia, dont pay tax.
So all australia retailers, online and otherwise, are disadvantaged.
Now if a tax minimisation opportunity is available, fine, take it.
From a personal point of view[as a frequent user], I'm happy for the present stupid system of no tax on incoming goods continuing.
But it is not sensible tax policy[forget about HVN] to continue with the present system.
As the volume of goods increases, there is a bigger and bigger hole in our tax base.

And if anyone whines back at me about having to pay tax at all, please go back to bed with your inflatable Sarah Palin doll.
cheers
