also the people who can afford to pay people to take care of the paperwork, so you can forget about opening your own shop in a place with a VAT.
Like I went to England and we went in line at I forgot the name of the Big mall or shopping center in London that has like Seafood bars and Chocolate, Delis, and other things
An the had a section to get a VAT refund
"If you permanently or habitually reside outside of the EU, you will likely be considered a “visitor” for VAT refund purposes. In these cases you are not subject to the VAT and may be able to claim a refund. Unlike tourists, business travelers can also claim the tax they paid on lodging and meals."
"bow at the alter of the almighty paperwork gods!"
So basically a VAT only effects people living there
And if you don't live there you don't pay the VAT
where a sales tax effects everyone who shops there, so another reason VAT taxes are dumb.
there*
Sorry little tired
I think both sales tax and VAT are dumb. They're relics of socialist reforms.
where I live people drive sometimes over 3 hours down form canada to go shoping because the taxes are better, and then they also have to pay a tax when they go back into canada on any stuff they bought anyway!
I feel like the taxes should be delt with on a town level, how the town does it i don't care.
then the towns send some money to the state, and the state sends some money to the federal level.
would make several problems just go away.
Sounds like Me when I drove up to New Hampshire just to get Whiskey
It would eliminate so many meaningless jobs, too.
But that's exactly why it won't happen.
ahh, you aren't a Masshole are you Ordis?
(liveing in mass and being a masshole are not the same thing)
No, I'm a New Yorker who wants to hang our Governor
you must have been in the north east of NY then?
Well my mom was working in Massachusetts
In the Boston area
Boston sucks, but i know the area well enough i think.
drove truck down there all the time.
My dad gets her Bourbon and Whiskey to Cheer her up
So when visiting one day we drove out to NH to get her some
I always get a kick out of how NH has liquor outlets on the highway.
they are also the only state that has NO seatbelt laws.
I got a Kick out of it that it was first Building I saw when we got up there
yup!

I mean it's is a great place to put it
Since it's right over the State lines
The southern New Englanders can cross the border for their booze
I also love that in NH they don't care what lane the trucks are in.
also the only state I know of that is like that as well.
I would totally move down to NH if it wasn't so close to mass and being over taken by people moveing up form there.
From what I heard that NH was Restructuring the Voting Laws so that Massholes can't Vote in their Elections anymore
woo!
I like the idea of saying "you have to live here for a few years before you can vote"
