VAT on electricity: we pay 21%
The indirect tax on electricity bills in Spain is currently set at 21%, one of the highest in the European Union. Therefore, the petition calls for a 10% rate in line with other neighbouring countries. For example, VAT on electricity is lower in countries such as Portugal (which cut it from 23% to 6%), Greece (6%), the United Kingdom (5%), Italy (10%), Ireland (13.5%), Luxembourg (8%) and France (5.5%), according to official data from the European Commission.
The Spanish government (supposedly left-wing) does nothing and the only solution they give is to put the washing machine on in the morning.
How much VAT do you pay in the USA? In Canada ? And in Australia ?

The standard VAT rate in Croatia is 25%, among the highest in the EU, and our government is no left-wing. :) But a reduced VAT rate of 13% applies to the supply of electricity and some other products and services (such as tourist services).
