just property tax, nothing more

the taxes are pretty high when you buy stuff though. sales tax is 19%

don't be alarmed..... the 18-19% is part of the price / NOT an add on.....so simply stated,, it is the status quo,,,, it is like a flat tax based on purchases..
not to worry.... on domestic items, food and shelter I think your money will go far / on imported goods, fuel and electronics and even autos expect to pay the same or more than at home.....

I am not an accountant by any means.. but really, it all works out.
