RE: taxes



Funny - last time I mailed the list 2 months ago it was on the
same topic:

In my mind Norway hold a 1st place in this area - a 1st
place I sure won't mind giving up!

A couple of examples:

Petrol pr litre in norway: £.90 ($1.50)
(Norway's the 2nd largest oil-producer globally!)

Yearly road tax: £155 (£250)

VAT is 23%. Proposals exist to hike it to 25%...

A new Sprint ST is 	£12,300 ($20,000) add to that delivery charges,
first tank of fuel, et al!

Oh, and to crown off this Horror tale: Income is taxed in bands, but reach a
decent wage of e.g.
£30,000 and you're paying 44% top band tax. Survive this (and the 6-7 month
winter) and you in the one of 
the most beautiful countries on the planet, with some of the most exciting
roads around.
