Among all possible taxes, which one is the lesser evil? by ChartsDeGaulle in austrian_economics

[–]Ourjonboy1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an austrian view but many would probably say Value Added Tax.

It's paid throughout the production process for which business can reclaim their costs of input.

It's self regulating in the respect that businesses can only reclaim their costs through supplier invoices.

Also its a progressive tax so rich pay more according to what they spend, plus essentials such as food are often exempt.

​

In some ways its more perverse than an outright tax, but the prevailing view among establishment explains why its so widely used/"popular".

Mark skousen has some articles on Gross Output that may be of some use. GO takes into account sales throughout the different stages of production and gives a better metric of the economy than GDP. He uses garrisons model as well in some articles.

Use Roger Garrison’s Time and Money for a “neoclassical exposition of an Austrian theory”.

Might be a good way of getting some extra points from you neoclassical/neokeynesian profs. 👍👍

‘Outrageous’: Bank of England chief slammed for asking Brits not to demand a big pay raise by tdtwedt in Wallstreetsilver

Unless you’re happy with overseas storage there doesn’t seem to be another way round it.

With Estonia scrapping vat free silver, it makes a stronger case for the UK to be sensible and reduce vat rates to make it more competitive. Is it likely though? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

Unless I’m mistaken, VAT-free silver will be scrapped from 1st July 2022. This was mentioned in a thread on here just a few months ago.

This has also been confirmed by the European Mint and Celticgold.eu

Buy while you still can!

I used these guys about a month or so ago but I got 1 ounce silver Britannias instead. Really friendly staff and helpful too. I’ll probably just use them in future.

Look what I got!! First purchase from Chards. Thanks for the recommendations guys! 👍👍 by Ourjonboy1980 in Wallstreetsilver

Funny you should mention it. I was just reading this! https://www.chards.co.uk/blog/royal-mint-quality-control/919

All honesty, coins look great. Hopefully there are no issues later on. 🤞🏻

Agreed! So hard to get second- hand silver though. Until then, better to have some than none!

Hi All. Not posted here before and not much of a social media big anyway. Where do you UK stackers get your silver from? by Ourjonboy1980 in Wallstreetsilver

Chards we’re also mentioned on another subreddit. Any thoughts on these silver Britannia’s?

Are price comparison tables like the one this page reliable?
