Many EU countries have a “VAT” and like feel like this is kinda targeting poor people. Like, for the rich, this is insignificant, for poorer people, a (example) 20% tax would be a huge burden. Why do they do this?

    I pay those. I have a plot of land and pay tax on it.

    Any other suggestion?

      You almost certainly do not unless you are incredibly wealthy and own multiple plots of land . Land Value Taxes are not the same as property tax.

        That’s correct. My country does not observe it.

          Most countries do not have a LVT because it would hurt the very wealthy as it is taxes on unused land not on your primary home.
