Sail Tax?

[philip_stevens]

What tax would I have to pay if I motor-sailed with just the main up? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Don't tell me red diesel tax <u>and</u> sail tax. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

There is logic to that.

THEY tax fuel. Wind is becoming a fuel

THEY might just tax wind to pay for something trivial.

It\'s official

Rates have been set throughout the EU under yet another EU directive. Typically, no one can agree on what rate, and it doesn't even reflect closely the mean wind speeds in the member states. Luxembourg however remains a great place to sail...

EU Member State / Sail Tax
Austria 20%
Belgium 21%
Cyprus 15%
Czech Republic 19%
Denmark 25%
Estonia 18%
Finland 22%
France 19.6%
Germany 16%
Greece 19%
Hungary 20%
Ireland 21%
Italy 20%
Latvia 18%
Lithuania 18%
Luxembourg 15%
Malta 18%
Netherlands 19%
