We pay 20% Value Added Tax (VAT) on pretty much everything, some stuff is exempt like baby's clothes & food. There's probably other stuff but I can't think off the top of my head. Over here the tax is included in the price, so you just pay the price on the ticket. Unless you're self employed, our government do our tax returns.

supposedly a guy in Florida has the cure for some cancers and AIDS. He tried getting them approved by the FDA (I think), which didn't happen and next thing you know people were trying to kill him (literally).

By property tax I think it's called council tax over here. All depends where you live, how big your property is & how many people live in it. I currently pay £150 a month.

So we have to pay a vehicle tax yearly, it can be done monthly now. Again depends on who old your vehicle is and how the size of the engine. Vehicle made before a certain date, it was 25 years or older but again they move the goal posts again, are exempt from paying tax regardless of how big the engine they have. They could have a massive V12 lump chucking out shit loads of crap into the O zone but because they are in the minority that's ok.

I have a 13 year old Ford Focus 1.6 that costs be approx £190 a year to tax, this normally goes up by £5 a year.

Eco friendly cars are free to tax I believe.

So I pay tax to drive on the road, pay tax on the fuel I buy and pay tax on my car insurance. Tax, tax, tax.

Then if I want to drive into London, I have to pay a daily congestion charge, £11.50. Cars that don't meet a certain emission levels have to £10 on top of the congestion charge.

We are heavily taxed in the UK.

Is there income tax too or just VAT? Is there also a district tax like it can vary by state or city here? Thanks for the info, this kind of stuff is interesting to me, I have some in-laws that moved to London recently but haven't talked to them too much about how it is.
