It's more like £0.30=€0.35, which is going down to £0.27=€0.31, which is a lot higher than €0.22. Probably using data from before Feb 2022.
- burkaman 3y agoThat sentence appears to be copied from this 2019 article: https://www.portugalhomes.com/news/article/172/what-taxes-costs-do-have-to-pay-after-purchasing-property-in-portugal https://www.portugalhomes.com/news/article/172/what-taxes-co.... Eurostat's latest data, for second half of 2022, actually says €0.46 for household consumers, and taxes are only about 20% of that. Edit: Significant portions of this article are plagiarized. I picked another random sentence, "Portugal became coal-free after shutting down its 628MW Pego coal-fired power plant", and it's stolen from here: https://www.energymonitor.ai/power/what-europe-can-learn-from-portugals-accelerated-coal-exit/ https://www.energymonitor.ai/power/what-europe-can-learn-fro.... This is literally the first one I tried.
