How is this any different? The tag in this case is the address and the payment is being delivered by the block chain (direct submission for user->merchant is easier than merchant->user) so we can't stuff extra data anywhere else. Then the UI knows it was a refund payment and not for anything else.


The difference is the concept of setting up a channel that allows both parties to create valid addresses of the other by exchanging some kind of master keys. The initial handshake with the protocol would agree on tags of individual address indexes if used. The wallets would have to observe those agreed inidices and evtl. extend range.

I don't see the relevance of VAT here.

It was an example label. I would not be suprised if with widespread use of payments some government would require VAT collected separately. It is just a guess and has no weight in my prior arguments.
