VAT question

Some AD refund right away with your passport. Others send you to the airport with the paper work. Then you toss it into a yellow box after more stamping and pray you will see your money from the third party prossesor which was not happening. Fortunately the AD that caused me this angst stepped up and made sure I got my refund. That said if you know your price points, you can do pretty well in the EU.

I was just about to write that - vat is not an optional tax and hits lowest earners hardest.
It is also a strangulation tax, imposed by top down governments enabling them unprecedented levels of supervision.

Compare uk with Hk (which has no vat).
Then look at Singapore which had no vat and then introduced it, reducing trade

Oh, believe me, you'd have to search long and hard to find another person who detests the administrative state and managerialism as much as I do. Compliance is a curse word in my lexicon.

I was only making the point that concept of VAT is brilliant.

Morality, fairness and practicality are different matters
