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.

VAT

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.

Litifeta,

I don't know how these things work, but as far as I know, in countries where foreigners can claim VAT back (like in the EEC), not every store can to the tax refund. I believe something is required from them.

I don't know how this works with online sales, though.

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.
