    There approximately 300,000 pages on uk tax code! There are at present in excess of 900 different taxes and surcharges and duties applicable, with more on the way. Tax law represents over 75% of all law made in Britain.

      I'm going to start taxing people for the use of the word "the". I'm sure it'll catch on.

              As an idea think about this. There is VAT at 15% Reclaimable 15% Non-reclaimable 5% Reclaimable 5% Non-reclaimable 0% Exempt Oustide the Scope That is 7 Taxes where people usually think of just 1 Then there is Car related taxes, Fuel Duty, RFL, New Car Purchase Tax, MOT Charge, Licence Renewal Charge, Toll Road Funding, Oil Product Tax (Charged on Oil not fuel). There is Stamp Duties at variable rates, HIP Charges, Council Taxes, Capital Gains Taxes, Document Tax etc all on your home. In industry there are Corporation taxes, Employers NI Tax, NDR's, Waste disposal taxes. They all add up. There are the rare ones that people do not know about like Petro-Chemical Production Duty, which is paid on the 15th of each month and this pays the Civil Service Salaries. There is Animal Movement Taxes, Alcohol Gravity Tax, (which is seperate from Duty paid on a pint or a bottle of Scotch), and how about War Chest Reserve Tax? This is paid by Armaments Manufactures and is chargeable at 0.1% of Gross Turnover and was brought in to pay off the debt accrued during the Crimean War and is still on the books! Plus all the usual suspects like the three rates of income tax and the two rates of NI, Ciggies, Insurance Premium Tax and Imports and Exports taxes. Landing Fees, Depature Taxes and various Windfall taxes. How about S38 and S106 fees for land development. And I have barely touched the surface!!

              They're taxing based on gravity now! Frick! Next thing we know we'll have a cosmological constant tax.

                  Is there a definitive list of every UK tax? By list I mean a clear one page list.

                  "clear" and "tax" very rarely show up in the same sentence.

                              You would need some very small font to get that list on one page.

                                    When we will be able to write a list for an infinite series, there would be a chance to have a list for the taxes of a country.
