WSB tax knowledge: Keep your eyes open when buying eggs! 😉

Not all eggs are the same, that much is clear.
However, this does not only apply to the decoration of Easter eggs. When it comes to VAT, there is much more to it than just the exterior.

...on the one hand on the condition of the eggs ...

Do you buy a fresh egg in the supermarket?
Then 7 % sales tax is due.

You buy a boiled and painted egg in the same supermarket?
Then there are 19 %!

For the really smart ones: If the egg is made of chocolate, you only pay 7 % again.

... and on the other hand on the point of sale.

Buying an egg directly from the farmer?
Exceptionally, you only pay 7.8 % sales tax.

The farmer has already painted the egg? This accounts for 19 %.

And in the restaurant it is 19 % even if the i is served raw!
