They just want your money spent locally instead of abroad. Spend as much as you like on arrival.
Booze has always had tax on it whereas for everything else the whole city is "duty free" (barring this VAT) although it's not profit free so still a rip off in a lot of cases.
This move will see the popularity of some of the fellas who brew their own go through the roof.
