Biologics must be grown in living systems - fermented, for example, in large vats of bacteria cells. This makes them hard to replicate. For decades, biologics weren't subject to competition from copycat generic medicines, even once patents and exclusivities had lapsed on originals.

When my girlfriend's away, I cook a big vat of meaty pasta and sauce and eat that for about a week. Then I eat out the rest of the time. When she's home, we eat at home probably twice a week. I chop, she cooks.

I don't see how a lowering of VAT helps much, in terms of stimulus. VAT is a form of sales tax. It gets paid when you spend. A stimulus should put money in your pocket before you have actually spent the money.

The term 'vat' often refers to large-scale operations, not personal use.

Industrial Scale

'Vat' implies a container for storing bulk liquids or for processing, like in winemaking.

Storage or Processing

Vats can be open-topped for fermentation or closed for storage.

Not Always Open

A 'vat' can be a measurement of quantity, usually for liquid or semi-liquid substances.

Measurement Unit

When referring to a quantity, 'vat' doesn't specify the exact amount, which can vary.

Imprecise Quantity

Unlike liters or gallons, 'vat' is not a standardized unit and varies by context.

Non-Standard Unit

When prices include VAT, it means tax is added to the listed price.

Tax Inclusive

If prices exclude VAT, expect the tax to be added at checkout.

Tax Exclusive

VAT applies in certain countries, not globally; it's similar to sales tax in the USA.

Specific to Countries
