Forgot all about that, and the fact that they charge VAT on the item plus the customs and excise

So

849 Dollars (664 Euro approx) 64 GB

Customs and Excise 6%

664 x 0.06 = 39.84

Total = 664 + 39.84 = 703.84

VAT on 703.84 at 23% = 865.72


ok, now approx 34 euro of a difference.



sure feels good being fleeced in Ireland
