Can handle the VAT rise on these, instead of the yearly duty rises on the price of Ciggys & Booze

Just their cost of living is so high, I'd have to be tea total to live there

I was in Abu Dhabi last weekend and thought myself lucky to get 2 pints of Guiness and a pint of Carlsberg for the equivelent of £17.
In Doha a couple of months ago it was £8 - £10 for a pint!!!
The VAT rise delayed until January helps with my car purchase :drinking:
Very surprised that the usual suspects of booze, fags and petrol got off so lightly.

They are looking at duty on binge drinking products in October
