[QUOTE="Nelson Atwell, post: 723035, member: 59102"] Poland charges 22% sales tax on most non-food items, 7% on food items and 44% (to increase in the near future) on petrol (gasoline). In return, the people get pothole-ridden roads, scant interstate highways, and almost non-existent welfare services. Of course the average Pole only earns $400/month, so they can't afford to buy much, and therefore not much tax is collected. I also think there is a huge underground market which by-passes taxation. Oh yeah, to keep this on track -- TJR I hope you enjoy your time in Japan. Be careful of those extra services at the barbershop. They could be expensive. ;) [/QUOTE]
