Like a surprise on top of what you had from the ticket price. In The Netherlands they have added the 19% sales tax already to the amount. YES, you saw that right; 19%... http://world.tax-rates.org/netherlands/sales-tax<br />So you are still doing far better than a lot of European countries.<br />Hugs,<br />Mariette<br /><br />PS I have a Windows 8 Samsung ATIV Book 7 Bare Metal Laptop Computer; new and I'm still learning how to work with it. Have not had much time yet...<br />Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-81614427133748367672014-02-05T05:06:26.804+09:002014-02-05T05:06:26.804+09:00Hello Miyako my friend!!

I don't mind paying it though because as you said, it pays for so much more that is needed. Hope all is well with you and your husband.

It helps as I'm not good at calculation :-)Tamagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146082320211034945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-1222443958520133802014-02-05T00:21:49.601+09:002014-02-05T00:21:49.601+09:00yes, we pay 8.25% sales tax here in NE Texas. howe...yes, we pay 8.25% sales tax here in NE Texas. however, we don't have to pay state income taxes in Texas - just federal income taxes, so it kind of evens out.

At first it surprised us when we started to travel, but now we are used to it.<br /><br />Taxes always seem too high, but as you mention, the money is needed (at least part of the things the money goes for I agree with).<br /><br />I always hate it when we have to get a new computer, because it always means a new learning curve. But then after I learn it I wonder how I got along with the older version!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-67972753023478218162014-02-04T23:00:26.633+09:002014-02-04T23:00:26.633+09:00Those taxes are always too high, aren't they, ...Those taxes are always too high, aren't they, my dear friend! I really don't like paying them as they seem to keep going up, but I guess we don't have much of a choice. I, too, would love a new laptop computer, but I know my husband would say this one is still good! :)Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.com
