That has been replaced with a 10% band, but only stretches to the 1500 pound mark. So, we pay 10% on the 1st 1500, 22% upto somewhere around 28000 pounds, 40% on everything above that. What is your VAT rate, then? We are at 17.5%. Cigarettes cost around 3.50 pounds for 20, and shock! they didn't increase alcohol duties. 3.7p on a litre of unleaded petrol, elimination of mortgage interest relief, elimination of married-allownace benefits........ -- _____________________________________________________________ richard.dee@nospam.virgin.net remove nospam dot Web Site: http://freespace.virgin.net/richard.dee/lego.html ICQ 13177071 AOL Instant Messenger: RJD88888 _____________________________________________________________ For the best Lego news, visit: http://www.lugnet.com/news/ Need instructions for a model? http://www.kl.net/scans/ _____________________________________________________________
