" I hear a lot of complaints from my friends in the UK about the taxe, etc. 17% is it? "
God I wish.
Nooo. average paye salaries with tax, nic are deducted in the region of 40%, high earners pay more.
Then when you spend whats left you pay 17.5% Vat, (Value added tax). Plus booze, cigs and gasolene have huge duty added to them. Beer £2.50/pint, cigs £4.50 for 20, and petrol nearly £3/uk gallon.No wonder we have a huge black economy of which I am a member, haha
