The point was made that it is not a consumer tax and I very much agree with that. Depending on the point at which the levy is set, these paid-for services may pass it on, as we can see. Every year, people get an email around Christmas telling them the cost of their subscription has increased. Have the witnesses seen examples of that in other countries where this levy has been introduced?
