None of that is good for exercise. . . . The VAT is for excise/duty.Kaczor wrote:Excise Tax.Son of a gun-ner wrote:Well, in that case, what's the extra tax that's put on cigarettes, petrol, cars and most booze before VAT called?
In Britain, we get loaded with extortionate high taxes on some things.
Cigarette tax alone generates about 13 billion in one year, probably 14 billion now since I read up on it. At that time, the NHS cost 85 to 90 billion a year. So, NO smokers, you don't pay for it all.
