Unbelievable/Incredibile

For once in a lifetime, Finnish politicians had proposed to lower some tax, the VAT on food, before outrageously set to 17%, to a more civil 12%.
Well, this is what I have to read from Yle News:

The government's plan to lower the value added tax (VAT) on food could lead to hundreds of job cuts in the restaurant industry and increase the sale of take-away food.

E ancora:

The Finnish Hotel and Restaurant Association believes that lowering the VAT on food will lead to more take-away businesses, a trend already seen in Sweden and Norway. The Finnish government has promised to reduce VAT on food from 17 percent to 12 percent. The VAT on food at restaurants would remain at 22 percent.

But this is unbelievable! In Italy it's 4% and still restaurants do very well. Why in the heart in Scandinavia restaurants should go out of business? Hilarious the issue on the take-away food: Finnish kitchens often remain anew no matter how many years they have been used. What gets overused are micorwawes, to warm the countless number of ready made crap that is possible to find from the supermarkets. The kitchen of our house, where a finnish family had lived 5 years before us, was NEW! It was enough a month of normal use from me and my girlfriend (Finnish, but luckily enough cooks very well and likes to cook and try out new things!) and it was in a state of non-return, no matter if we clean it.

And I'd like to investigate how much is the VAT in Italy on food consumed at the restaurants...

Incredibile ma vero: con una volta che in Finlandia avevano deciso di abbassare qualcuna delle oltraggiose tasse che vessano il consumatore, l'IVA sul cibo dal 17% (!) al 12%, subito qualcuno ha deciso di protestare. L'associazione dei ristoratori dice che perderebbero clienti se l'IVA sul cibo fosse abbassata al 12% (sti cazzi) perche' i finlandesi inizierebbero a consumare cibi pronti! Mah!
