The amount of tax on a pint costing GBP2.50 is exactly how much?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/vote_2005/frontpage/4434169.stm

Nobody knows. In 2005 it was obviously more. And beer was 1.50 a pint.

My memory fails me, good old BBC.


"Do you realise that a gallon of beer is three times the price of petrol?"
exclaims Tony Lockwood, manager of the Rose of Lancaster.
While the pub may sell a pint of beer at £1.50, 60p of that goes straight
to the
Exchequer in beer duty and VAT."

NO! :o)

" Can I use Duty Free Spirits (DFS) for scientific research?
http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageExcise_FAQs&propertyType=document&columns=1&id=HMCE_PROD_010200#P30_3205
Scientists may be able to receive DFS. Details of what qualifies as
scientific
use are:

* analytical research or other laboratory purposes, or physical
testing.
Please note: this does not include routine cleaning of work areas etc; you
should apply to receive one of the denatured alcohol grades
* teaching purposes
* commercial project research and development where small quantities of
spirits only are required. Please note: if a pilot development is
subsequently
scaled up to commercial manufacture, you are still required by law to
demonstrate that denatured alcohol is unsuitable for use in the
manufacturing
process. We advise you to take this into consideration before commencing
trial
work. See Public Notice 47 for more details.
