    In the Netherlands about 9% of the total price is actually profit.

    If the price for gas is €0.80 per liter, we pay €2.017 per liter. There’s this calculation with it:

    € 0.8 + € 0.867 = € 1.667 without tax € 1.667 x 21% = € 0.350 tax € 1.667 + € 0.350 = € 2,017

    The € 0.867 is standard Consumer tax per liter on gasoline.

    This is only the tax on gas, let’s not talk about the tax you pay for your vehicle every month. I don’t like it, but it beats being eternally in debt for breaking your finger. Or destroying my car in a pothole.
