SS,
That is partly true but it is caused by the fact that we are taxes so high. A fifth of almost everything is tax, VAT, although what value is added is beyond me. Then we have all the corporate stuff, training etc. which we must do. Insurance, vehicle tax, corporation and personal tax. All that and more is on the person doing the install as well as all the material that they purchase. So you pay VAT on taxes as well.
This means that the people at the coalface don't get as much as you think and our greedy government gets about 70% of the whole lot.
