These taxes seem punitive. For essential goods such as computers, that seems way too high.
- microtonal 4y agoSeems completely fair to me? A good computer lasts many years, the cost (outside Macs) has gone down a lot and you can get a second hand computer at very low prices. Also a lot of other tech-related costs are much lower here than compared to e.g. the US, like much more affordable broadband internet.
