As me and my husband sat down for dinner tonight, I was able to mention to him about eating ice cream. Last August 2007, we visited a friend in Kaiserslautern, Germany. As we went walking in that city, we happened to pass by at Dolomite, a coffee shop that also sales ice cream . While me and my husband were eating at dinner, I told him that the shop charged us for 19% tax for the ice cream we ordered. I asked him why 19%, when that is food. He said that ice cream, chocolates, some junk foods are considered not basic food for living, that's why it is charged at 19% tax. In Germany basic food like bread, meat, milk etc are charged only 7% tax. Non-food goods or merchandise and services are tax last year at 16%. But now, it is already charged 19% including other services in shops like beauty shops, auto repair, insurances and a lot more. Germany is one of Europe's expensive country. Even sometimes when you go shopping plastic bags are not for free. You have to buy it self. This is just for info to everyone who always go shopping especially to women who always love shopping. Besides that now is Christmas time, one of the busiest time where almost everyone go for shopping. Just be wise in spending your money and be sure to have the right price for the right product.
p.s. these were the ice cream we ordered..sorry wrong cam date...
