minus-squareBuffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year ago belasting Ha that sounds like “burdening” in Danish. Funny your IRS is called that. Here it’s called SKAT which is the same word we use for “darling”, also a bit ironic IMO.
minus-squareDacoTaco@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoSkat? Haha, that has a different meaning in english
