The high operating costs of running a business, combined with endless Government regulation, UK banking practices and multi-national profiteering, remains a major contributory factor that's induced a negative affect by forcing UK businesses to mark-up their goods and services far higher than is compared with many European and other countries in World - especially the USA! The end effect leaves UK businesses little option but to charge higher retail prices upon consumers. However, contrary to what many people may believe, 'home-grown' UK business profit margins are not excessive as compared with other 'home' businesses in the G8.

What is VAT?

A 20% consumption tax applied to pretty much every single product for sale in the UK.
But its included in the price as displayed on products.
If you geniunely want to know, you're either too lazy or stupid to search. I will point out though that you shouldn't fall into the trap of thinking 45% tax rate in income applies to all income, only earnings over a threshold that most people do not or will not ever reach.
