Much more than $5. Some exampels:
The Irish Times (5 days per week): US price $5.99; in EU: $22.99
Chicago Tribune (daily) US price: $9.99; EU price $19.99
Remember, that the EU price has to cover the wireless charge for each day that the newspaper is delivered, which explains why it's so much higher.
Single issues also cost more in the EU, but not as much as $5.
As far as VAT is concerned, in the UK there is no VAT on physical newspapers, magazines or books, but there is on electonic versions of these. I think most other countries do have VAT on the physical items.
