When the wreath meets tax rates - Curiosities seen in the light of Advent

The big VAT rate lottery. Play along and be surprised!

Today: Advent wreaths.

Every year, they bring light into our hearts. They now come in all colors and shapes, with wax, LED or no candles at all. What they also take full advantage of are the VAT opportunities...

The tax rate depends on what the wreath is made of!

Does fresh material such as fir branches or evergreens predominate?
Then 7 % sales tax is due!

Do dried elements such as pine cones or decorative balls predominate?
Then the tax rate is 19 %!

We don't want to make it more complicated than it already is, but the only question that remains is whether the "preponderance" is measured in weight, volume or visibility.

No matter which Advent wreath you have at home - we at WSB wish everyone a wonderful Advent season! 🕯🧦

👉 From pine cones to pine apples - tax issues can also be quite complex. Are you looking for a reliable tax expert with whom you can relax and look forward to the Advent season?
