Same in the UK. Very curious how all over the world, governments created exactly the same tax loophole. I can't think which highly resourced industry might have been involved in "advising" them

    At least in Switzerland, people were really using them for work until a few days ago.

    It was only farmers, carpenters or builders until it became a trend.

    I guess the law was okay before but they never thought that someone would want to have such a huge vehicle just to get groceries 😅
