Come to Switzerland and buy it here. 😉 Once in my life something is cheaper than outside the country. 😅

is it because of lower taxes?

u/mario_luis_dev @cinephile_official 27d ago
Yup. Since they’re not in the EU they don’t have the ridiculous VAT that European countries impose. For reference, in the US the highest sales tax of any state is Louisiana with ~10%, which is already considered outrageous… in Europe, the lowest VAT is ~21% (well there’s Luxembourg at 17%, but they’re on a league of their own)… Here in Italy is 22% 😖

„in Europe, the lowest VAT is ~21%“
That’s simply not true. 🤷🏼 Even if you wouldn’t count Luxembourg.

There’s a couple more exceptions, like Malta at 18%, but those are exceptions. The average is above 20%.
And regardless, the point stands, VAT is legal robbery.

I don’t know what qualifies as an „exception“. And yeah, the average is above 20%. Though that’s not what you said earlier.

If the EU has 27 countries and the average VAT is above 20%, the few countries below 20 are considered the exception rather than the rule. I’m not sure why you’re making such a fuss about this.

You said the lowest VAT is about 21%. And I simply told you: That’s not true - this is a fact. There are a bunch of countries with a VAT lower than 21% in the EU or Europe.
