Annual Vice Bill : £6259.75 (1) ,(3)

Of which the Government takes £2519.94

Annual wine tax: £150.07 (2)

Cigarete tax: £1347.74

1. Shit ! Over 6 grand !
2. Only 3 bottles p/m - but quite high cost ie £20 a bottle.
3. Comprises of : Cigs=20 day, beer=30 a week, wine=3 a month,
spirits= 4 a year, lottery = 0

 

£5444.00 - HMG takes £1395.77.

Actually, though, most of mine goes on pints of beer.
If I drink in my local, I pay £2.60/pint. I could
walk a bit further to Wetherspoons and pay £1.99/pint.

According to the calculator, HMG takes £200 more because
I choose to pay more. Is the tax on the retail price or is
some of this difference taken up with less cost and profit?

 

Mine: £297.64
Gov: £123.52

....what do I do with the remaining cash? Who knows, but I certainly
couldn't afford £6k/year.

 

isn't there VAT or whatever on beer bought in a pub?

 

Your annual vice bill: £ 1261.24
Of which Government takesDuty + VAT) £ 346.25

...doesn't sound right to me.

 

mine was suspiciously low too.

 

Mine, £104 -gubmint gets about £12
lottery, £2 pw

 

<fx:thinks, fires up calculator>

Yeah, that's about it. I was only thinking of 'duty' there for
a moment.

 

cost and profit.

http://www.hmce.gov.uk/about/reports/ann-report-stats.htm

For a start, duty (ie tax) is added at the brewery rather than
the pub, and are based on quantity produced (in two bands)
and on percentage.

 

Well, each to their own, of course, but I want more than a couple of
pints per week )

 

yes, yes, yes... I'd forgotten about vat

 

I want to be able to afford my bike and my altercations with the tarmac

 

Did you add the "cost per pint, cost per bottle etc.

 

Jesus. You must be a chain-smoking alcoholic

My annual bill was 262 quid.

 

In

Only fags and booze though ... I guess we would need to include petrol
duty etc too?

I was totally honest, and It does look bad - but, an average of 3
cans of beer/lager, per night = 28 pints pw and, as I live in London the
beer is expensive: £2.80 for Stella A for instamce.

Also, due to the week days I dont drink, I can (do !) make up for it on
the weekends.

The wine purchased is always consumed with the help of friends at dinner
parties and over longish meals.

The cigarette intake is probably a lot less actually.

Those are my excuses and I am sticking with them :O)

 

There is a fuel cal here :

http://www.thisismoney.com/undated/ff954.html


at 5000 miles a year

I pay : Anuual bill: £269.73

Duty: £151.78

VAT: £40.17

Not a vast amount.

 

That might even be 21 (using mathematics)

Note to self : IAATC

 

My vice bill comes to £0. They haven't got any really good vices listed
there though.
