>On the pessimistic side, if this is really the tax law, then I don't see how the courts can do anything but reinforce it. It's the stupid tax law that needs changing.

That's the situation right now. However, if nobody fights, this will never change. We have tried to mobilize as much parties as possible in this. At first, it was the media in order to broadcast the information, then came the political parties which will be followed by our appeal.

>If the government were losing money on this, you can bet it would be changed - like the Income Trust tax laws the other day. Unfortunately, the gov't is actually making money on the deal (once again without having done anything to earn it).

This is what they have to realize. They are trying to get in more money from foreign customers. But, in long term, they will loose big as the local GST that they used to collect will no longer apply if companies move offshore.
