Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but couldnt decide which was the right one...
Anyway, Do resturaunts, grocery stores or coffee shops charge a sales tax on purchases? If so how much is it? I know theres a local tourist tax for Hotels (except mines included with apartment). Thanks for any responses.

nope definatly not. the price of things in menus/on the shelf is what you pay. i dont know of anyhwhere in eurpoe that does it.

that sales tax thing was a right pain when i went to visit my uncle in Georgia. stuff that cost exactly 5 or 10 dollars on the shelf for example, would end up costing a few cents more and you end up with loads of change.

thanks so much! being from the US Im used to that extra xharge lol

The only extra tax thingy is the city tax to pay on checkout.
