Aliexpress dodgy GST tax
c64:
I suppose "from that store". Or who never used "shipped by aliexpress" - all of these specials are shipped by aliexpress
What kind of price you see for those links?
retiredfeline:
I'm not a first time buyer, I think it means for all of AliExpress, so I don't get any special prices or free shipping. Here are my results, all calculated correctly AFAICT:
It is possible that with the compilcations of being first time buyer and free shipping, there is a bug in their calculations. Have you contacted AliExpress?

Well, over here, it went, if I'm not mistaken, from 100 eur to 20 eur to now the first euro. Yay. Of course, a lot of small items manage to get through, but you never know.

It's like arguing what's more expensive, $120 thing with $20 rebate or $100 thing with no rebate. It's only consumer that does not get the rebate at the end of the chain.

Yes. Normally, only the customer at the end of the chain really pays the VAT.
One more dubious use of VAT, though, is when selling second-hand products. What's the value added in this case, and in effect VAT will have been paid several times on the same goods. Ah, the beauty of taxes.

Same pricing and correct GST as retiredfeline has above.
