You will get something like the Belgium - Germany thing

In Belgium there is a Copying taxs on (Re) Writable media and in germany, you have a tax on the writing media itself.

So what happens, you order you media in Germany and purchase your Writing drive in Belgium.

Same thing will happen in The Netherlands, good thing for the IT bussines just across the borders then.

PS for as far as I know there is no such law coming up in Belgium, maybe I should set up a store near the holland border then. :slight_smile:
