Greek Finance Minister Yiannis Stournaras would be shocked to hear about the cost of Christmas Carols, should the kids be enforced to issue receipts. Below the very pointed caricature by Kostas Mitropoulos
Stournaras: 150 euro for Christmas Carols? Are you nuts?
Kid: Mister Yiannis, Christmas carols cost 5 euro. But they’re charged with 23% Value Added Tax, 22% emergency tax, 14% solidarity fee, 8% social insurance, 15% trade fee, 20% tax in advance, 7% lump sum contribution.
How does that work out to 150 euro ?
Compound, I’m getting 13.64 euro.
