Hmm, Australia is getting a Goods and Services Tax (flat 10% that
will replace a range of sales taxes), from 1st July, but it's a 
Federal Tax ('tho the states get the proceeds). I guess your fed's 
consider state tax discrepancies don't skew trade enough to warrant 
intervention (or does it boil down to a fed/state separation of powers 
issue?)
