Parliament decides on the % level of tax, it is then the governments job to take tax of people, make ads, send letters, employ civil servants to check peoples accounts etc. When the Tory's (who are the elected government at the minute) do something wrong, then this gets discussed in parliament by all the parties, about where it went wrong, how it can improve and if necessary a change in law is made. The Prime minster is in charge of the government, while the head of state (Queen) is in charge of parliament, she has the final say on whether a bill (a proposed law) is passed.
It is called the Parliament. It is divided into two parts the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The house of commons comes up with discuses and puts forward a proposal to enact a new law then if the House of Lords agrees with it it can be formed into a law.
British Parliament, the U.S. Congress, and California state are all examples of unitary governments.
