There is a 10% reciprocal tax on Heard and McDonald Islands.

There is a 10% reciprocal tax on Heard and McDonald Islands.

These are islands that form part of the Australian territory.

Heard Island in fact has Australia’s active volcano and tallest mountain.

Both islands …. are uninhabited lmao.
