I once saw, in a country where vat is charged, a sign in a shop: with the receipt $85, without the receipt $70.
What is going to happen is an increase in street vendors and door to door vendors, which would not be subject to VAT. Selling anything from household goods to clothes to food.
And, there will be an increase in online orders and air couriers, as the shipping charges go up.
The air couriers offer a Miami address and take care of all customs duty.
Last year I stopoped patronizing a business where I would go regularly as it became cheaper to shop online.
