The Greek tax system is mad!

We read about the poor Greeks being squeezed for tax until the pips squeak.  So you would expect that "luxuries" would be taxed as savagely as essential every day needs, wouldn't you/

When I booked my flight from England to Greece, I noticed that the tax was lower than I remembered paying on my previous trip to Greece.

Yesterday I booked an internal Greek flight - no tax payable at all.  On previous flights there has been a tax payable

Yesterday I booked a hotel in Athens.  The VAT is 6.5% - the standard VAT rate in England is 20%.

There is soemthing wrong here!  Greece needs a Robin Hood ..............
