Pundet har ju rasat en smula mot kronan på sistone så det uppväger nog (om det inte brakar iväg åt andra hållet som för en knapp månad sedan), om man bryr sig om valutakurser och inte bara VAT och punktskatter.

Visst, men det är ganska trist när man har hittat utmärkta tyska källor som vill ha betalt i Euro
The Chancellor has changed his mind about putting so much tax on whisky.
The following is a quote from the Metro this morning:-
"A D yestereday halved a planned eight per cent duty increase on whisky after protests by the industry.
The increase to take effect on December 1 will be just four per cent. The new figure was announced by Scot Sec Jim Murphy. It prompted complainsts from the industry whcih said that, even when the 2.5 per cent VAT cut was taken into account, the increase would put 29P on the price of a bottle. This ccame on top of a nine per cent rise in March.
On Tuesday, Mr D said his aim was to keep alcohol taxation 'broadly' the same, with rises in duty offsetting the VAT cut. But a difficulty had been that, while duty was calculated on alcohol content, VAT was calculated on price. The SW Association welcomed the 'quick and positive action'.
