The Netherlands' are high, but not higher than other northern-European countries.
- Samuel_Michon 16y agoSorry to nitpick, but The Netherlands isn't situated in Northern Europe. It's in Western Europe. Also, 'The Netherlands' is singular, not plural. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Netherlands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Netherlands
- jdminhbg 16y agoDouble-nitpick: "The Netherlands' are high" does not suggest that "The Netherlands" is plural; only that its taxes are.
- Samuel_Michon 16y agoI'm aware, thank you. 'Roadnottaken' changed his/her post after I commented. I understand that makes it look like I was referring to the phrase "The Netherlands' are high".
- cdavid 16y agoThose numbers are not very accurate I think, they are too general. For example, VAT in France is 19.6 % only for a portion of products: medicines, food is around 6 %, while some other products are heavily taxed (the usual gas, tobacco, etc... where most of the price is taxes).
