Say NO to Electronic Services Regulations Bill of 2014

We're callling on all users to sign this petition.

From 1st April 2014 (no, this isn’t a joke), government will begin taxing purchases made on the internet for digital or physical products under the new Electronic Services Regulations. There will be a 14% VAT levied on the purchase and anyone who makes products that fall under any of the categories outlined by treasury will have to add in 14% VAT from now on. If you’re purchasing games on Steam, consider buying them before the government tries to add VAT to your purchases.

The only end result this bill can produce is angered consumers and increased piracy.
