Yes, indeed. The US has probably the highest tax rate in the world,
the better to support all those illegals getting benefits under 7
different names, I'm only halfway joking, we have a serious problem
with things like this! 73 de Alex NS6Y

Ugh, try living in the US. For a single working person, about 1/3 of
earnings go for federal taxes, then there are state taxes, then there
are sales taxes of an average of close to 9%! And none of our postal
people are that "cool" lol! 73 de Alex NS6Y

When I got my first K2, I had to pay 10% of valve (~$75AUS) at the
post
office before I could collect it. I was told this was applicable
for all
imported items above $500AUS. When I got my second K2 earlier this
year I
also expected to have to pay the same amount, but was informed by
the local
postmaster, that customs couldn't be bothered to collect the money
on postal
items anymore, and I didn't have to pay a thing.
Obviously the Australian government are ripping us off enough in
income tax,
to not have to worry about VAT on imports..
