No Per is right, the stupid Danish government keeps this going. They claimed to have lowered the taxes but it was just a scam as they raised what is known as the `brutto' tax with the same percentage. This tax actually hits harder because its taken before you can apply any of the tax deductible items. Oh and now some politicians started saying that the only place where they haven't applied environmental taxes are on cars so the car owners will have to pay next time. Oh yeah, Denmark has 180% tax on cars already ... beat that! (but of course this is not an environmental tax but rather a `jealousy' tax). Jes
