Right...here is a challenge for all you geeks out there...it has occupied many an hour of mine whilst sat in the car...
Here is the scenario...
Its my mums birthday and I want to get her a really nice card...so I drive to the nearest Clinton Cards (6 miles away and of course I use my car) and buy her a card costing £4.00
How much tax do you think goes into Gordo's pocket?
And for more fun, how many times does tax get paid during the full lifecycle of this purchase?
You have to bear in mind tax paid in manufacturing, distribution, sales, fuel, road tax, vat etc etc...lets see who can get to the highest number with a justified arguement that we can all buy into...I reckon it will be more than £4!!
