If for instance the pipe has been removed from a household where the plumber/builder has been working and deemed it to be obsolete tax will already have been paid when first purchased, so now you want the plumber/builder to be taxed on it again thats good "chummy". I pay more than enough tax unlike many others who pay none at all and never have and never will, the law abiding among us would be all to happy to see a change for the better in ILLEGAL scrap but it seems that again only the ones with a legitimate business would suffer having to pay for the few scumbags who abuse the system as it is.They tried the same with waste and brought in transfer licenses and all that mallarky.That worked didnt it fly tipping stopped at once and the local "tree surgeons , rubbish removal experts" rushed out to apply for theirs in droves, so what makes you think that nerdowells and thieves will take any notice of this? I await your answer with baited breath "chummy".!!!!!
