So how do you get the tag off ?

It's always been the "stick on spiral RF loop" type, so not a problem,
you can even cut/peel them off and carry them round in your wallet, just
to annoy Mr. "Can I see your receipt?" standing near the exit at B&Q ;-)

I think the stick on RF loop type are deactivated by passing them over
a large RF field. The RF field causes a current to flow in the coil
which blows a 'fuse' on the printed circuit, thus deactivating it.
