Well if cost is no object and these people are so incredible important they won't have any problem with a 100% VAT paid at the location of manufacture
Predatory taxation is usually counter productive. When they raised the excise (luxury) tax on yachts here in the US, they stopped producing them here and many thousands of jobs were lost. When they raised taxes on and demonized those who flew in biz jets, many thousands of jobs were lost. The politics of envy are not only ugly, they are self defeating.
