>Another stupid Norwegian regulation is that the VAT percentage for some products depends on where and how they are sold. For instance if I buy a pizza at a restaurant, and eat it there, I have to pay 25% VAT. But if I take the pizza out of the restaurant and eat it in a park, in my car or at home, I only pay 13% VAT. I think the book which summarizes when each VAT percentage applies, is almost as thick as the bible. :-)
It's the same over here - VAT law is similar in the European countries
VAT law makes a distinction between
goods and
services- Get a pizza = a
good .....lookup in table... food .. 6%
- Eat a pizza in a restaurant = a
service... lookup in table.... service = 21%
