I have never heard so much crap about the Government NOT getting any money in Tax. total rubbish.

I will be told next that they don't get Tax on petrol etc.

I was told from TWO shopkeepers that when they sell cigrattes, the Government gets a lot of tax out of it. Is this why they put the price of cigrattes. As the more cigarettes they sell, the MORE tax THE GOVERNMENTS GETS.

On Petrol sales, the Government get a staggering 80% in tax.

That's why when you go to a Garage shops, they charge so much money on the product, as they don't get any money on Petrol
