Dear Kent, Internet sales are not tax free in the UK. Nor, I believe, in the rest of the EU. We do not have local sales taxes in the UK but we pay national Value Added Tax of 20% on purchases of all goods (with some exemptions) whether from local businesses or from internet vendors - even on purchases direct from from Elecraft. This is 20% of not only the purchase price but also the shipping costs.
