You've never been VAT registered then.Easy way to work out a tip, (mainly for our American friends)
Assuming you want to tip 20 percent for good service, move the decimal point one digit to the left and then double that number. It's that easy! For example, if a bill is for $35.50, you move the decimal to the left, which gives you $3.55. Double that number, and you've got $7.10—a 20 percent tip calculated in seconds.
I usually tip 15% so let's see, the bill is $35.50, move the decimal point $3.55, half it, that's $1.77.5 add that to the first number and thats ergh about $5.Easy way to work out a tip, (mainly for our American friends)

Over here the tax is 13%. So, take the tax and add a bit, or take a bit off if the server was a ****.I usually tip 15% so let's see, the bill is $35.50, move the decimal point $3.55, half it, that's $1.77.5 add that to the first number and thats ergh about $5.
