No I don't leave items bought abroad in their originally packaging. That would be counter productive of me if I was trying to avoid being taxed
Bringing anything into my country is taxable also. See that nice outfit in your suitcase? It's taxable.
Laptops are very taxable but I just leave it in my backpack since customs would not normally check my "personal bags"(hand bags and small backpacks) coming into my country.
If you did not declare it and they find it they levy an additional charge on top of the taxes.
- DocTomoe 10y agoNope, target country enforces this. Which is a lot worse, because you usually have to live there. > Bringing anything into my country is taxable also. See that nice outfit in your suitcase? It's taxable Admitting to TAX EVASION on the net with a somewhat traceable account is probably a bad idea if you are living in a Country that actually operates on tax income (which some countries do not, Brunei comes to mind...) > If you did not declare it and they find it they levy an additional charge on top of the taxes. Actually, in the western world, you get put into prison for a few years.
- Grazester 10y agoI do live in the "western world" if you term the Americas that. My country isn't going to waste resources to hunt me down to get a couple dollars worth in taxes and they certainly aren't sending me to prison either ;)
- DocTomoe 10y ago> if you term the Americas that Hardly so. "The Americas" indicate some second-world middle-American Country, which more often than not is in the process of failing (because of - amongst other things - tax Evasion).
