Yeah, thats the thing. It is so-called tax-free. It is indeed tax-free, but with huge margins.
I had a look in some of my old pricelists (have done some work in this field), for instance a cheap gin brand would cost 2,50€ for 70cl if sold under tax-free conditions B2B.
Another example is the 24-pack beers that are sold in every store, for let's say 22€. = 0,9166€ each. Alcohol tax + VAT is 0,69€ + 0,15€ panttti = 0,84€ = about 7-8 cents for manufacturing and distribution left. No doubt that the Finns can produce cheap beer.
So my best guess is AY actually pays about 0,20€. Don't know for sure, but if I were buyer at AY, I wouldn't pay more for a can of beer.
