If they're shrewd they build it into the cost of the bag.
It is not a tax. They just want you to bill the bag.
Of course they would get the VAT from the bag that way. I guess many people hasnot realized it was a covered tax raise on working class folks - if I give a
bag for free I don't include its VAT in my declaration, if I happen to operate a business that declares VAT.
Small retailers don't declare VAT (they pay the sale taxes in advance, before selling the stuff) so how you declare your bag sales to be like afterwards doesn't matter much. It is different for big surfaces that do VAT declarations,in which I guess it makes a difference if the government get 21% of the price
of all bags sold.
