Here, in England, our tax is 17.5% but it's going up to 20% on 1st January!

In Oregon we don't have a sales tax on retail items....however, we don't have a high income here either overall. I believe I heard on NPR (Nat'l Public Radio) this morning our state individual earnings were 90% of the average US state income level.

I am so sorry to hear that others are paying such high combined prices and VAT rates for fabrics.

How do you economize? I would think it would be hard to compete with quilters in the US if you are using the quilting for income.

We here in Oregon don't have a sales tax at all, but we pay the 3rd highest in state income tax and our property taxes are out of sight! Donna

Here we have 10% GST (Goods & Services Tax). I pay $A20 to $A26 per metre on average but sew a 1/4 inch seam because most of the rulers, patterns etc for quilting are in inches.

the Good and Services Tax (GST) is a federal tax applied right across the country,then there is also a provincial tax anywhere from 6 % to 8% applied in most provinces except in Alberta we only have the GST.

Besides property taxes, fuel taxes, auto license, hunting licenses - and I'm sure there are a lot I don't know about or have forgotten :|
