Hi all!

We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

Wait, stores display prices in the US without the tax? Wth? That can't be!

It's definitely a thing.

Which tax? Federal? State? County? City/Municipality? What if some of those are zero?

This is why no one does it. I think smart labels may change that some day, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Edit: ah, to be clear, those tax types can all vary. I used to shop at a place where the same store on the opposite side of the street was cheaper because the tax rate was less.
