Ordering stuff via a proxy like Zend2?

gizmo1990 · 10 Feb 2012 at 15:24

I need to buy a plugin which directs me to a payment site, which then hammers me with an additional euro vat.

I was thinking of using zend2 to mask my ip, therefore hopefully getting the non taxed rate.

Would I be daft doing this? Sending my details via a proxy like zend2?

Any advice appreciated.

edit, hope this is an ok question to ask? If not feel free to delete mods.

Payment site for what? a product? a service? are you recieving anything after the payment?

Yeah a payment site, avangate? I guess it'll be a serial number I'm sent via the original company.

Could give it ago, but you may find that the payment site might have proxy sites blocked, or if they discover that you are from the UK using your personal details, they may block the transaction as technically it may become invalid.

I think I might wuss out. It's only because I'm so so skint right now that I'm even contemplating it. Having no money sucks.

A little extreme and I doubt anyone would care at such a small level, but if you're <supposed> to pay tax on it, wouldn't this count as tax evasion and in fact be classed as a criminal act?

Hope's OP doesnt drop the soap in the showers of the criminal house
