Not really - its called "irony" - the *real* irony being that VAT (TVA in most of Europe) stands for Value Added Tax and was supposed to be on luxury goods only... but there you go :) In the USA it seems to vary from 0% to 7.5%, but like here, its just part of the way you live. If you want to be tax-exempt, live in Canton Zug or somewhere similar - I have lived in Switzerland (went to school there too), but chose to move back to the UK. Pretty much every location has pros and cons - death & taxes being the only certainties ! Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
