The solution is to buy the iPhone in your country or region of residence. That way you can avoid the domestic tax, plus iPhones are sold regionally meaning if you were to buy your iPhone elsewhere, you would face different features, warranty support and more. If you were to get a repair done on your iPhone, you would need to return to the country of purchase.
