> In some European countries, plant-based milk is subjected to a significantly higher VAT than cow’s milk.
Still haven't understood this one yet though. Some kind of protectionist tax rate for the farmers?

- monksy 3y agoThis is 100% normal and happens in America. It's a huge reason why hard seltzers took off. (They're brewed instead of distilled) On top of this, you can have local based taxes or tax breaks. (I.e. Chicago has a bag tax, leave the city.. no bag tax) https://www.efile.com/unusual-strange-funny-taxes-throughout-the-world-and-history/ https://www.efile.com/unusual-strange-funny-taxes-throughout...
