This will also apply to things like Amazon, SHEIN, and Temu.

edit TEMU not TRUMP

I'd be happy to pay the VAT if someone sold and crate-shipped Trump to a third world country. How much is 12% on a dollar anyway...

Probably the only way they will get taxation money out of the tech giants given all the shady things they do to transfer the profits out of countries to evade taxes. VAT at least is a lot more obvious and harder to avoid although I don't put it past them to start doing even shadier things.
