How does this work for digitally delivered goods such as video games through steam and online retailers as well as e-books and music downloads?
Couldn't online and overseas retailers falsify the value of the contents in order to avoid the taxes? With the value of our dollar slipping and an additional tax on purchases some retailers will be losing a lot of business (websites like ozgameshop.com for example who were primarily aimed at Australians but was run from the UK.)
I'm all for supporting our own country but I also have to keep an eye on my budget. A lot of Australian retailers are just simply, overpriced. Stores such as Myer, Grace Bros, etc consistently sell items at or above RRP. It's their own fault for losing business to online and overseas retailers.
