What the tax that the shops pay and you break the law by not paying?
Its easy to make an 'its the government' comment but its more complex than tax.
Shops in the UK are more expensive to run, ALL of the overheads aer higher than Hong Kong and we also have the problem of buying stock through distributers in the Uk which adds to the cost think of it like this.
In the US a model shop buys a B4 from associated and then sells it to the customer.
In the Uk the shop buys from a distributer who buys from associated before they can sell to the customer. This middle man approach is where a lot of margin is lost.
