    And they wonder why nobody is insured, doh!

    Most things you buy have a form of sales tax added, be that VAT for adult clothes, tvs, computer games, cake or IPT for insurance products.

    Only a few "essential" items are VAT exempt with no alternative sales tax added like kids clothes, books, basic food stuffs, royal mail postage.

    If you are a low risk you could try the over 50s providers - some don't resctrict themselves exclusively to over 50 - just low risk.
