getting to the end of the term though, surely he's gonna be looking to win over some voters
In all seriousness theres already a precedent for charging tax on tax. When I imported my car they added import duty @ 10% then charged VAT on the whole bloody lotOriginally posted by JB

I wonder if they would then charge VAT on the VAT on the VAT
One thing is for certain - we won't be any better off when Gordon sits down and closes the red case
He's going to ...
Drop VAT to 15%
Petrol down by 10p alitre
Booze and fags down 1p
spend 30 billion improving the roads
get the trains to run on time
Have a massive youth programme
annexe Eire
Build lots of ships and submarines
invade Poland.
?
Aye right.
But think of all the improvements in public services we'll get as a result of all the new indirec taxation we'll be getting.Originally posted by Wak
