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?

    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.
