Another common confusion is the difference between taxable & and taxed.

An amazing result considering what we started off with.

Hopefully it buys time for JLR and other luxury manufacturers of cars to rethink their marketing strategy. Deals like the the new UK-India trade pact will give them the chance to look east for exports.
