Hey everyone! ?? I know it doesn't feel like summer in the Netherlands at the moment, but I'm thinking about a special holiday for this year.
Today, while scrolling through news of the 2024 Massachusetts Sales Tax Holiday I couldn't help but feel some envy.??. Massachusetts is waiving sales tax on most items under $2,500 in the weekend of August 10-11.
Now, picture this: You walk into a store, pick up that gadget you've been eyeing (under $2,500 of course ??), and voilà—no sales tax!
And all shop owners MUST participate if they're open. It's a mandatory tax vacation! ??? ??
Wouldn’t it be absolutely amazing if we could have our own VAT-free holiday here in the Netherlands?! ??????
So, who's with me? Let's bring the spirit of the U.S Sales Tax Holiday over the Atlantic and into our Dutch shopping carts.
Let's make it happen! Spread the word, and who knows, maybe next August we’ll be celebrating our very own 'Btw Vakantie Weekend'! ????????
