Our country is skint.

Let’s invent a new tax. PAT.

Pets Added Tax

Anyone with a pet (hamsters pay a reduced rate because they are nocturnal) pays £50 a year to the nations coffers. Just like VAT but more targeted.

Is it a winner?

perhaps we can attach those monitors to them to stop them hanging out In insalubrious places late at night. And if they do then then the tax is double.
