#6A municipal tax on cable TV can be enforced because there's a physical line to a residence in the municipality.
What's stopping users from ordering netflix to an "address" in a tax-free municipality? For that matter, how are they determining this in the first place? I never told netflix where I live; they only have a billing address. But billing addresses aren't where tax is due; I regularly pay municipally taxed services for one address at another billing address.

#9I live in UK and I haven't been watching broadcast TV since 2013 - streaming all that I need. So, I will find it annoying if I am hit with an additional TAX just because I utilize the service that I already pay for to the best of my abilities - mind you that I also pay additional subscription fees for online streaming content and faster fiber. I totally support the TAX on plastic bags to prevent littering the environment but TAX on online content? What is the point of that?

wouldn't they go off the billing address if they could not determine it in another way?
