No one likes paying taxes, but Income Tax is probably the fairest if levied equally, ie: everyone pays the same percentage of their income. If you have acquired assets, good luck to you, shouldn't be taxed. VAT isn't very fair, a millionaire and a poor person pay the same tax on an article. More of a problem is what is done with the tax collected, so much waste, daft projects, needless quangos, numerous 'parliaments', incompetence etc.

I agree....income tax seems so simple....as for the rest of it....makes your head hurt...it's a whole industry.

And let it be said a thread started about an inquiry about the FLA a non political movement of the forgotten working class turns into political hogwash by the HOL and some of the very big egos that have hijacked it with their boring political issues.

Like tampons?

There s VAT on tampons. Shocking.

Yeah I know that,but if you read the post like it was meant,he said vat should only be on luxury items,so obviously not including tampons...
