I'm concerned about a new tariff the CPCC is attempting to push through. They are the ones that pushed for all removable media (blank CDs/DVDs) to be taxed. They are now trying to get memory cards taxed too. Not to mention they are trying to heavily tax MP3 players now also also.
What do you guys think? I don't like having to pay twice to listen to music I purchase.
Quote from proposal:
Levy:
(d) for removable electronic memory cards in the Secure Digital, MultiMedia, and Memory Stick formats with more than 256 MB of memory, $2 for each card with no more than 1 Gigabyte (GB) of memory, $5 for each card with more than 1 GB and no more than 4 GB of memory, and $10 for each card with more than 4 GB of memory;
(e) for digital audio recorders (incl iPods), $5 for each recorder with no more than 1 Gigabyte (GB) of memory, $25 for each recorder with more than 1 GB and no more than 10 GB of memory, $50 for each recorder with more than 10 GB and no more than 30 GB of memory, and $75 for each recorder with more than 30 GB of memory. |
