Wow! I do not feel so bad. So a Jeep is roughly 5 times the cost when
bought in Denmark due to tax? Does the 25% VAT apply to used products
as well? Say you buy a used Rollei TLR, would they add the VAT?
Any comments from our friends in Oz. I remember there being a 98% duty
on any imported product or something like that. I know Singapore is
expensive too.
Thank you for the information.
