Oh my gosh! I could never afford a stash at that rate. One quilt at a time is all I could afford. My stash is only left over pieces.
We know the VAT will arrive in US sometime. It bothers me because it is a repeating tax. It is added on to every level until the consumer buys it - whatever you buy.

i don't feel guilty about complaining.
i just have a great deal more sympathy for our international quilting friends than i do for myself.

Isn't that the truth!

I've never heard of this VAT before. Isn't this double taxation? We left VA because they wanted to tax us for any tools or equipment we had that we could maybe make some extra income from. We paid taxes on it when we bought it. We shouldn't have to pay taxes on it again. I'm totally fed up with all these fees they keep slamming us with. And we aren't even getting a cost of living raise again. They should make a moritorium on raising prices when the economy is the way it is. We have to adjust our budget for these increases and our government should have to do the same. Ohhh, venting feels so good. LOL

We have 6% sales tax, except for groceries, which is 2%. We do have to pay an ad valorum tax {luxury tax} on our vehicle when buying a tag each year. The more your vehicle is worth, the more you pay.
I guess that is why we have learned to be resourceful. I love the many hints that have come across this board. :) :)
