They tax any bought item over a certain amount. You declare the item value of the mail form. Gifts are exempt but shops won't mark them as gifts because of insurance purposes. Second hand goods are exempt but if it is not markd how do they know?
It is just simply revenue raising scheme and before it was too difficult to police, now with the anti terrorism laws they have plenty of time to raise revenue.
