You may want to refer back to the message about sales of 10gig players posted a few weeks ago, I am not sure if this link will work, but try it. If not, just look a few pages back in the for sale section for a post with 14 pages of replies. There are many people in the UK talking about their experiences with paying taxes, this is nothing new, VAT has been around for quite some time.
