Don't worry, they will think of something new. Swingeing tax on internet access / usage ?
Or an old tax regurgitated like a tax on financial transactions ? (Remember the 2d postage stamp stuck to receipts and bank withdrawal slips, and printed on your cheques so that the 30 cheque cheque-book cost you 5 bob ?)
Increase the taxes that people forget about (though they do hit most people in the pocket) like Employer's NI, landfill tax (currently £86.10 per tonne)
Stealth taxes where you effectively pay for something that used to be paid for by the government - like lottery funding being used instead of government grants.
And I haven't even put my thinking cap on yet !
