| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Nico: Price tags and labels in Finland always include the VAT, so you don't need to calculate the tax into the price shown. Price labels also often show the price per liter or kilogram of something, so you can do comparisons between different products. Tipping is not common in Finland either, so there are no hidden costs when shopping! VAT in Finland is 24%, except for books and cultural events in which it's 10%, and for groceries it's 14%. So, if you’re on holiday in Finland, be sure to check and look out for duty-free items! |
