The price of a pint of Mahou in my favourite bar has increased from €1.50 to €1.80. (Anguished wailing.)
All due to the VAT increase from 18% to 21%. Not entirely clear why a 12.5% increase in VAT, accounting for a fifth of the total, should lead to a 20% increase in the price to the consumer. But mustn't grumble - the price of a pint in the UK is slightly higher.
