That's the magic of the L1 Lagrangian point[1]; it takes basically no effort to stay there and it is exactly between the earth and the sun. Now L1 is an unstable point, so eventually the shades will drift out of position, but I imagine

VAT means Value Added Tax. @Forbo's was talking about a transaction tax. The difference can be explained by this completely made up example: A steel mill buys iron ore for $1 a kilo and makes steel of that. A nail factory buys steel
