NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to be Based on GP102 Silicon

He's right. In the US, state tax over 10% is already high, in EU, you're lucky if VAT isn't close to 20% (in some cases it's more). Plus, you can register one company in the US and do business in all 50 states. But in EU you need to set up a company in each and every state. The cost of doing business in the EU is way higher than in the US.
Please keep to issues you know something about (whatever that may be)
You'll just have to register your business as an EU Only Export Company and your local Tax Office will do the rest...it's actually easier than covering all of the US. (been there, done that...you won't even get a T-shirt)
 
Maybe it has something to do with the fees and taxes the corporations need to pay the Socialist Eutopias of Europe.
And Canada, Asia, Australia...oh let's just say everywhere that's not America!
 
The tax-regime is more to blame. Hardware prices shot up by 20% over the last two years, and it has not just to do with USD-INR rates. Prices will come down significantly if GST bill is passed.

Thanks for that laugh.
Here in Australia when GST was implemented nothing changed, oh except prices went up....

States out-tax the centre with electronics. I'm not sure if Indian GST bill is the same as OZ's. Indian Parliament is structured similar to Westminster, the lower-house (of the people) already passed the bill, as it lowers and regularizes retail prices greatly. The posh cunts of the upper house are holding it back, as they represent the states, and states stand to lose a lot of direct revenue from this.

Amalgamating several Central and State taxes into a single tax would mitigate cascading or double taxation, facilitating a common national market. The simplicity of the tax should lead to easier administration and enforcement. From the consumer point of view, the biggest advantage would be in terms of a reduction in the overall tax burden on goods, which is currently estimated at 25%-30%

I know about stupid tax regime, I have keep track of a lot of taxes while selling to clients. Hopefully GST will be passed by years end, it will simplify things for me as well a lot.

EU is not all Schengen, so it's not that easy to cover all states. Plus, there's at least the accountancy that needs to be kept separately for each country.

Well, the only non-Shengen countries are the UK and Eire, and they are opt-out, not opt-in...the other four are legally bound to follow Schengen, even though they are not members. For the accounting, it's just a matter of keeping good records (sorry about my previous comment, I was feeling grumpy and you were first in line )
