I've never heard of this VAT before. Isn't this double taxation? We left VA because they wanted to tax us for any tools or equipment we had that we could maybe make some extra income from. We paid taxes on it when we bought it. We shouldn't have to pay taxes on it again. I'm totally fed up with all these fees they keep slamming us with. And we aren't even getting a cost of living raise again. They should make a moritorium on raising prices when the economy is the way it is. We have to adjust our budget for these increases and our government should have to do the same. Ohhh, venting feels so good. LOL
