Tobacco Tax - Just a quickie! (Project)

What rate of tax is added on tobacco in this country? ie. I pay 3.25 for a 10 box of ciggies, how much goes to the Government?

VAT is 21%, but cigs are regulated by the revenue, the government takes about 70 - 80 of the revenue from cigs, the rest is divided between the shops, wholesalers and manufactureers.

what are you trying to work out?
