Taxing Times By Gary Lyon You may have noticed the recent publicity about proposed new taxes. Even wargaming is not exempt and several new taxes have been proposed. Rumours that many of these taxes emanate from Martham have been strongly denied by the member for Yarmouth North. PAT Plastic added tax. A levy to be added to any plastic figures. There will be an exempt category for historical Airfix figures (PHART)   GAWD ELP Games Workshop Demand for Extra Levy on Production. If there's money to be made the Nottingham mafia will have their fingers in the pie at some time.   FU TO Figures (unpainted) Toll. To be charged whenever unpainted figures are used   FART Fantasy added (reducing) tax. Charged on fantasy figures and on a scale commensurate with that of the figures. 54mm and larger would be at the top end of the scale where as the less noticeable (and more paintable) 2mm would attract a lower level of duty.
