The whole point was that the higher duty came in on the day the VAT reduced (ie 1 Dec).0

As this isn't Old Style, I'll move it to the Cutting Tax Board, where the experts will be able to help you

As Biggles correctly states ... it's linked directly to the VAT decrease. So it came in 1st Dec .... in order to stop you being foolish and saving on drinking smoking and driving!If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0
