chem1st Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I thought illegal drugs were the essential choice of the poor and they are vat free. Its time VAT was added to all illegal drugs as well. I smoke ganja and would be prepared to pay tax upon it, including VAT, as I don't think ganja is an essential. Hopefully the authorities will legalise it and let folks like me pay tax! (Only a pot head would plead with the authorities whom persecute him to pay tax ) Even better, they could just sell licenses to grow it, and provide units in an area near to a firestation for safety reasons.

gnvqsos Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Well, I can take that post just about as seriously as I can all of your others. I don't smoke, but I do enjoy hunting - should ammunition be a tax-free essential for me?

L00b Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 So long as the overall tax burden doesn't change I don't see why it would cause anyone to leave for elsewhere.Now, call me cynical, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoran Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 As a result of buying more fags and alcohol, no doubt! Wonderful stereotype:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma royd Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The poorer people are spending more of their money on VAT accruing items as a % of income. Clearly too many of the basics attract VAT. Fags and beer as the most obvious example. Wouldn't it be simpler to say that people who earn least tend to spend it, where as people who earn more have a bit left over to invest? Its hardly rocket science is it? Unless you are simply trying to play politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
