No duty?

U pay about £4.50 for 500ml of isopropyl at my local chemist. I
thought the high-ish price was mainly for duty.

Under £1 a litre, inc VAT, for cleaning strength, in 5L
amounts from:

No other taxes on IPA (Unless that is India Pale Ale :-))


????? 47.65GBP for 5L is not 1 pound/litre, or I am gong mad.....
