While some EU-countries treat 'energy' as a 'basic need' and apply the low VAT rate, others treat energy as a 'luxury good' and apply the high VAT rate.
@BM_Visser In case of the netherlands quite misleading, since there is a reduction just because of basic need, which is preferrable over an overall low VAT rate.
@bolzano
No, the mentioned reduction deals with the energy taxes which come on top of the 21% VAT and, by the way, would be by far the highest in Europe without the reduction mentioned.
