Nope, you'd pay sales tax of 22% on 120% of the converted price. 120% of the converted price of A$240 is $288, so you'd pay sales tax of 22% of that, $63. Total cost to you of $303. > this is madness... It would be if it was true, but it isnt. > of course, with the GST it would only be 10% - yeah right....... Yep, right.
