Not sure my wife will be able to understand what great news this is 

Yup, just saw that!  I'm going to spring for the 100mm Macro.  Might also update my Mums printer with that £22 all in one they have, Canon printers are supposed to be pretty good.

Here in Czech republic is Canon cashback but the prices are still about 30% above US prices. 

I have an issue with the whole sales tax/VAT/GST thing.

If goods are sold to someone outside the country, I am pretty sure the seller is not required to collect or report the tax.

I think they are just charging it and pocketing it.

I imagine most countries use a similar system to Australia. They would do a business activity statement and then claim back their lost input tax credits.

Should not matter whether they sell online on to a customer with an overseas airline ticket. The reporting schedule should be the same or similar in most countries I would imagine. But I have been wrong before, and most probably will be again.
