Eryn Vorn Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hi board, In a front page article in yesterday's Japan Times and other newspapers, Kyodo news reported that a government panel decided against expanding the range of products subject to royalty payments on digital recording devices to includes iPods and other new gadgets that use flash memory and hard disks.The surcharge per MD recorder is 400 yen (4$) and per minidisk 4 yen. The decision is surprising as existing taxes/surchages are upholded while problems with them are recognized.The total levy amounted to 2.3 billion yen (20 million USD) for FY03.<a href="http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn20051202a2.htm">The article on JT website</a>Kudos for the great job by admins and moderators.
