same problem except we get 20% sting bitmain say theu have to declare full value which makes purchase usless.
That's called the law?
laws not a problem when youdont know what your going to be charged for thata the problem.
they declared low values on the s1 and didnt care then of the law.
No surprise when there is a bunch of idiots spewing off about customs charges on a public forum ffs. You think that the various customs agencies across the world are too f'in stupid to do a google search? Sheesh, its like the Darwin awards in here.
The only people you have to thank is yourselves for spewing out about it across the public internet.
stop being a troll, you are the only idiot here, I am not complaining about having to pay taxes, im complaining because I ENDED UP OVERPAYING taxes, and if I didnt my packages would sit in customs for weeks while they look and laugh at bitcoin transaction proof
For what it's worth, I get what you're saying. To clarify for those who don't:
He pays 15% tax. Let's just use 10% for ease of calculation.
He buys an item for $369. Tax should be $36.90
Instead, the value is declared as $500. He pays $50 (or almost twice what he should have based on the real value)
This is where the problem is; not on the taxes themselves, but in the value declaration.
yes except 500USD needs to be converted is a little under 600NZD
on top of this I get brokerage charges etc
my tax ended up being 156nzd (120USD on a 370usd package)
i got over double charged
