 JP> Err, isn't the tax rate currently at 23%?



Not with modems.

It s all over the place because of software content.

I recon that the courier should be taxed the cheapest because the flash

code is software, but no, it is the dearest.



Some modem taxes :



12% comcorp, 

12.5% motorola,

13.2% Avtech,netcomm  



Update here

13.6% KTX external 33.6



14% x-link, ktx, GVC, extrema, common clones,microcom, banksia

15% Microcom PCMCIA

19.8% USR , all dynalink



Isn't Australia wonderful, we gave lots of people jobs to work this all out
