  • Welcome to Holland, we’ve arranged good dikes, good infrastructure, social benefits and affordable healthcare for all.

    How do we pay for all of it?

    Yeah… You now know how. We pay a lot of tax. And I mean a lot. 17+ % VAT on everything. Cars have an extra tax called bpm of around 20%. So half the price of a car is tax. 1 litre (not a gallon!) of ron95? Over 2 euros. Etc. (because that’s not all)

    It’s fun.

    And thats why we are tall. Because if we weren’t we would drown in our taxes ;)
