Generally speaking, yes. For the purposes of what you probably need it for (which I assume is a recipe using cornstarch as a thickener) the answer would be yes. If you want to get really technical, cornflour is an ambiguous term that can refer to cornstarch or cornmeal. In Australia, cornflour is generally made from wheat, rather than maize. So it will ususally say wheaten cornflour on the pack, and in fact is in no way related to corn. Cornstarch (US term) is a similar product, but is actually derived from corn.
Following a recent referendum, Switzerland has announced a temporary rise in its VAT rates. The increase will help alleviate the costs the social security system which is undergoing reform. The Swiss VAT rates will change as follows from 1 January 2011: Standard VAT rate: 7.6% to 8.0%. Reduced VAT rate: 3.6% to 3.8% (hotels) Super Reduced VAT rate: 2.4% to 2.5% (foodstuffs) The increase will be withdrawn on the 1 st January 2018.
The modification of the VAT rates is the result, on the one hand, of the refusal of the Swiss population of a new financing of retirement program proposed by the government and, on the other hand, of the end of the actual financing program of the disability insurance supported by 0.4 percentage point of VAT. However, at the same time, the new Swiss VAT rate will support by 0.1 percentage point the financing program of the railway infrastructure until 2030. This is to inform you that counting from January 1st, 2018 new VAT rates will apply in Switzerland.
