More Australia tax.
If you're game like me you could buy a bunch of US components and reship like me. But forget about warranties.
As much as I dislike the Australia tax, every time I have to pay it I find it helps to think about how great Medicare is in Australia.
So you're happy with the wealthiest people in the world paying no tax in Australia while they operate here then?
eg Qantas no tax on over one billion profit for the last decade.
Google, Facebook, Amazon.
Hundred of others.
Because I feel like a chump living amongst morons.
@Diji1: No, I most certainly am not happy that too many corporations are able to pay very little tax in Australia on the huge profits they make. I’d love to see the tax loopholes they exploit closed and for them to pay their fair share. I’m keenly aware that the tax burden will continue to be disproportionately shouldered by the middle class until we change our laws.
Unfortunately, our politicians mostly have consultants from the big four accounting firms draft their tax policies. If the changes make it into law, the big four then get to make a heap advising companies on how to work around the new laws.
What I wanted to say is that whilst I dislike paying more for the same product, it helps to remember why we pay more and what we receive in Australia for our taxes. Healthcare through medicare, an almost free education in public schools and a (barely) functional social welfare system are all worth paying for imho.
There's a few things to unpack there…
Higher domestic costs for goods and services does not automatically equiate to more tax revenue. See Diji1's comments. Facebook and many other large multinationals are based out of tax havens and pay little to no tax despite their higher prices in Australia.
The key country I can think of that has no healthcare and is first-world is the USA. America's healthcare problem isn't that there isn't enough tax revnue to pay for Australian-style healthcare, it's a multi-dimentional issue relating to healthcare standards, education costs, and the medical industries of America. And Politics.
The UK has the benefit of (some) lower prices due to its (possibly shortly expiring) ties with the EU. They have significant investment in the NHS and other government programs.
TL;DR The "Australia Tax" doesn't make Australians better off, it makes greedy companies who can get away with protectionist regional business models better off.
@Koffee: Yes, I agree that higher costs don’t always equate to higher tax revenue. Thanks for unpacking.
Micron E-Die; the new budget king.
I just bought 2 sets for my b450 gaming Pro carbon.
Nice! Happy to help :)

That is a decent price for Aus, wish we could get the same pricing as the US Newegg :(
