Post #382,746 by pwhysall 10/26/13 1:32:39 PM Reply	Naw, it's dirt simple There is no sales tax in the UK There is VAT which is on most things (there are exceptions for things like childrens' clothes) And then there are specific duties - fuel and alcohol spring most readily to mind. But VAT is simpler than US sales tax because it's one rate and it's not regional at all. I now return you to your scheduled programme.
