Are they trying to turn the UK into Greece? Increasing the VAT over 20% may drive honest people into black market trading. Here in Australia the government is trying to impose greater taxation on mining companies.The changes would increase the mining industy's effective tax rate on Australian earnings to 57 percent from the current rate of around 43 percent.
