Wow, that VAT is hideous.  Protectionist, eh?  People freak out in the US when protectionist measures are put forth for consideration in international trade.

When you have a consumer economy you still need to tax the producers to keep it going Wink

Yeah if you purchase $10,000 of ASICs from the states then that means you need to save $2,000 for the tax man before they arrive.  When that $2,000 could buy you another ASIC and you'd pay the same as the lump sum VAT fee on instalments over two+ years.

Who's interested?

It would work out the fees all in that you would pay the same amount in hosting fees (all in) over two years in monthly instalments as the 20% import VAT upfront.
