POP (Point Of Purchase) tax. for every pound that goes out of someone's bank account to a retailer the Gov instantly and automatically take the tax as a "man in the middle".

i say do away with all the different "tax" like duty, vat, income tax etc.etc and create one single POP payment and set it at say 70%. that 70% is divided up into what needs to be paid like say 10% military, 30% NHS etc.etc and is 1% variable but all ringfenced. the Gov would not have to wait on its money, people would not need to do vat/tax returns etc.etc.
