Thanks Max.
If I am a wealthy manufacturer I have to pay a 25% Value Added Tax
before profit and then after my profit is taken I have to pay a top of 68% in
Income Taxes. I calculate that to be 85% of every dollar I take in -- did I
do that right?
Every American that I meet, who has spent time in Europe and fallen in
love with the joint, just gushes over how many of you ride bicyles instead of
driving. It is easy to see why.
But businessmen either pass taxes along to their customers or go out
of business. So if I were a Dane whose profession required him to drive
would have to pay the 250% tax on top of the manufacturers price. Also
folded into the initial price would be the 68% tax on the manufacturers
earnings plus the 25% Value Added Tax. In addition that tax would be added
at every level of manufacturing.
In the U. S. when a state adds too many taxes to a product the state
citizens, if they are sufficiently close to the border, go out of their state
to make puchases.
Do you have that sort of problem in Denmark or are you protected by
the adjoining countries having pretty much the same tax structure as you do?
