The House of Representatives Infrastructure and Communications Committee has today released its report based on its extensive inquiry into IT pricing in Australia. Specifically, the inquiry investigated claims that Australian consumers pay significantly higher prices for IT products, including games, than consumers overseas.
“The committee found that big IT companies and copyright holders charge Australians, on average, an extra 50 per cent, a practice consumers call the ‘Australia Tax’”, said committee chair Nick Champion MP in a statement. “High IT prices can have significant impacts given the critical role IT plays in many areas of Australian life.”
