Many EU countries have a “VAT” and like feel like this is kinda targeting poor people. Like, for the rich, this is insignificant, for poorer people, a (example) 20% tax would be a huge burden. Why do they do this?

🤔

      That is… An interesting way to run things.

      I might have to look into the Netherlands a bit deeper. I know there’s a tax discount for the first 5 or something years so depending on how the job market is for backend devs there right now, it could be pretty good.
