I have a solution.

If you put a sign on top of the ATM that says: slot machine, 50 dollars fast cash.
That granny will learn how to use the ATM faster than you can say peter pumpkin eater.

But, no worries, granny will be using that digital currency in 30 months.

nonsense.
it is cheaper to dress in uniform, as you only need two sets.

furthermore, without uniforms, the children will show up to school dressed as walmart people, and you will see the same nonsense you see in the news in the US.

a new uniform is not needed every year.
a proper seamstress will sew the clothes so that the hems and side stitches can be let out as the child grows.

I had to use a calculator

I have two receipts so far.

the first one says:
subtotal: 53.19
taxable at 12%: 44.52
taxable at 0% : 8.57

Next to the vat free , there is the symbols {*} for each item
Next to the vatable , there is the symbols {T} for each item

this is from a major foodstore.

The other receipt is from a smaller food store operator, and not detailed, so the burden was on me to pickout which items were vat free. The bill was correct and the store does use POS, so maybe the system will be adjusted soon.
I did not say anything because the food store owner is a nice man and I am sure he would answer if i asked.

But definitely, it will be a burden on the consumer if the store is allowed to continue this practice.

back in 2014, i used to buy president brand camembert cheese, 10 oz, i think, for about 12 dollars.
it is like 21 dollars now, same size.
they made sure cream cheese is not vat free.

reduce the fruit, it has too much fructose and makes you fat.

your apple, other fruits and fresh meat will never be zero rated, no perishables ever will, as they cost money to keep.

at lest they could have included some dry and canned beans for more nutrition.

the 1973 price control act is still in force!!! even sugar is still price controlled, just not VAT free.

remember the price control act just covers white flour, the vat zerorated includes several flours. At 15.00 per pound, i cannot buy coconut flour whether it is vat free or price controlled.

i have now combed through 2 of my receipts to see what is VAT free, the vat free items are not identified. just the vat free and taxable totals.

I suspect that price control will go away next year.

> How were these passengers "booking"
> these flights or hearing about them?

you do not "book" these flights. you just go loiter in the airport and tell people you are going to andros, and they tell you where to go.

nowadays there is whatsapp and the thing goes by word of mouth.

sometimes there is an odd fella there asking you to bring a cooler of frozen meats for his parents.
