How may domain do you REALLY buy to get greedy with .25cents. fractiousws 06-26-2002, 12:40 AM No worse than the sales tax here in Newfoundland, Canada. $0.15 on the dollar!! Crazy. Mester 06-26-2002, 05:23 PM I paid $2.51 CAD on chriswalsh.ca because I bought it in from a company in my province. I guess this would be the same but it would probalby just be worked into the domain price as VAT is in the UK. I couldnt find it at CNN, but what do they want the tax money for? Just more money to them or what? :rolleyes: Marko_P 06-26-2002, 05:58 PM Well everyone wants money...I really don't blame them. I would tax too....but how can they tax when people that use the internet all over the world. maybe 25 cents is alot in some countries. secludo 06-26-2002, 06:22 PM WHAT?! That means I have to pay a whole $2.75 to register another 11 domains! The horror... although I still don't see it as fair, I mean, there isn't even a tax on FOOD here, but there is when I register a domain? |
