3. Why does a company care about taxes? Why does anyone care about taxes anyway? Because taxes have to be paid. For example, if Euro goes below 1.18 USD, Wiis price without taxes in Germany (if i recall, it's 250EUR there?) is less than what it is in the US. You can't just say that "it's 300 now, because of currencies" or "retailers should pay only 10% VAT to keep price where it was". For example some car retailers from Germany used to buy cars from the finnish importer, because they got the cars cheaper from there, than from the german importer. Because of the high tax, car manufacturers compensated the tax by selling cars to finnish importers cheaper than to the german ones. |
But the UK gets screwed all the time...and it's nothing to do with the UK tax VAT....its to do with them wanting profit. It's nearly $2 to the pound, yet we pay well over the odds for the PS3 and everything else.
