- icelancer 5y agoTariffs, yes. Taxes, no. Simply comparing the cost of technology-based goods between AUS and USA/CAN - or worse, digital-based items - shows why Australia is not an attractive place for technology companies.
- jeeeb 5y agoI don’t know of any particular taxes on technology goods in Australia. There’s 10% GST but that’s paid by consumers. For companies GST on inputs is all deductible.
- dannyw 5y agoIt's not taxes nor tariffs. It's the fact that we are generally an affluent country with high costs of living and wages, so the market can pay more.
