@Remittancegirl @pgiulan Since long before Trump even entered politics, or #Palantir existed, I've been convinced that #surveillance, not revenue generation, was the real reason for #IncomeTax on working-class individuals (as opposed to plutocrats and corporations). There are many other ways to generate revenue, such as #VAT and #LandValueTax, or just income taxation limited to corporations and very wealthy individuals. But those wouldn't enable the monitoring of everyone's economic life the way population-wide income taxation does.

Prediction: We are going to see many of the cheapest vehicles have a baseline price tag of $50K and most luxury vehicles starting at $100K by the end of the year.
#Trump #tariffs are essentially creating a global American #VAT: Raw materials imported to US, converted to parts sent to Mexico/Canada to be used in assembled autos sold in the US will mean that many vehicles will see a much higher price tag than the face value of the tariff assigned to that country.
Continued thread
#Trump claims that many countries have targeted the #US w/ “non-monetary barriers,” like currency manipulation, subsidies, exorbitant taxes & theft of intellectual property.
Trump specifically talked about the #EuropeanUnion’s value-added tax, which he has long despised. #VAT rates are common outside of the United States, & the U.S. is actually an outlier for not having one.

Bytes Europe · Exclusive-Italy pursues payment from Meta, X and LinkedIn in landmark tax caseBy Emilio Parodi MILAN (Reuters) - Italy has handed tax demands to Meta, X and LinkedIn in an unprecedented VAT claim against the U.S. tech giants that could have repercussions across the European Union, four sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday. While it has been reported that Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta and Elon Musk's social network X were under investigation for alleged tax fraud, it had not been disclosed that Microsoft's LinkedIn unit was also caught up in Italy's pilot VAT case for the tech sector in Europe. Italy is claiming 887.6 million euros

This isn't normal.
- We used to get #MSRP WITH #VAT in #Germany despite having a 19% VAT rate (tho even Belgium git stuff at VAT despite having 32% VAT).
Cards get sold for € 1.100 when their MSRP is€ 600
- THIS IS #PriceGouging!
Looks like we'll probably be getting a 0.5% #VAT increase on Wednesday :-( https://techcentral.co.za/cabinet-0-5-percentage-point-vat-hike/260343/?utm_source=MastodonAfrica #SouthAfrica

A pauta que a esquerda deveria abraçar e que tem amplo suporte da classe trabalhadora é o fim da escala 6x1.
There had to be a sneaky catch didn't there. #Eton start paying #vat now but #claim #money back for the previous 10 years! The start date should be the same on both. This is ridiculous.

“Private faith schools in England lobby for VAT exemption on fees under £7,690.” The god squad don’t want to pay their taxes! #VAT
Intro.
Just migrated here from Mastodon UK. I am another grumpy old man who is a year short of 60. Was fortunate enough to give up work 3 years ago and do not miss it at all, mainly worked in Tax (#VAT and customs).
Love collecting and listening to music, generally #Vinyl (will occasionally post some of the stuff I listen to). Still go to gigs but not as many as I used to.
Live near Reading in the UK, been here since the early 90s.
We have a dog by the name of Basil and I will no doubt share a few picture of him other the coming weeks.
