[citation][nom]Granter[/nom]As a swede, i laugh how you US people react to this....We pay 25% tax on everything we buy here, if it is online or in a normal store, same same.Tell your goverement to start focusing on paying back all the money it ows, eitherwise the dollar will be worth fuck all in a few years. Tho nothing negative for us, we swedes are already making a great deal out of both the euro and the dollar being so weak right now.[/citation]
Actually no, you pay the local VAT/sales tax of whatever EU country you're buying from.
Also, the Swedish economy is harmed by the strong Swedish currency, so it's not all good.
As for this change... it boggles the mind that they haven't taken care of this sooner. Sure, you can cry about having to pay taxes... but the fact is that tax you avoid on the internet is just going to get levied somewhere else (income tax or higher sales tax for the stuff you still need to buy in a physical store).
