aye another thing we have to thank teh tories for its a bloody disgrace what they get away with charging for a P poor service

Re: council tax bill?
 

Don't think you can just blame the tories, as the government in power Labour could abolish it if they so wish :rolleyes:

Re: council tax bill?
 

Remember something like this the other year.The bills were very late landing on doormats & some folk were getting warnings of non payment when they hadnt yet got the bill:eek: Needless to say i think it was the 1st time the council had used the postal service to send them out so they got the blame.

Bring back the Poll Tax.
What could be fairer than everybody paying the same?
Why should someone in a small house pay less than someone in a big house? They create the same amount of rubbish each, have roads and lights outside. Both can use public services like the library. Both are protected (allegedly) by the Police. Both get the same cover from Fire Service, NHS etc etc etc.

Noooo next you will be after Maggie Thatcher returning to power:eek: it didnt work then even worse than current system oh & filling up jails un necessarily - more on legal system .... it simply was not fair unless u was rich or had a great annual wage but many in this country dont!!

NO COMMENT...
just going off to kick the cat,,,,,,,,(only joking ):rolleyes:

Re: council tax bill?
 

since when has fairness ever entered any government's head

as long as they get their overinflated salaries they continue to believe that we can all afford everything they can

so what appears to them to be a small amount to pay for the service that we don't get to you and me means an ever increasing overdraft constant loans and expanding credit card balances thus causing interest rates to rise due to increased spending thus in turn leading to an ever increasing overdraft constant loans and expanding credit card balances


hmmm i see a pattern emerging here



ahaa! taxation is the root of all evil it is therfore dangerous to you and the
people around you (otherwise known as passive taxation) and it must therefore be destroyed!

i hereby ban all people from paying taxes (and will use government money to employ undercover agents who will impose on the spot to anyone who is seen handing over money in their local taxation office).

How can it not be fair for us all to pay the same for the same services?

Re: council tax bill?
 

everyone shoud pay the same all every govenment has ever done is screw everyone regardless of them been rich or poor , we get the bill for the egos of people like tony blair through higer taxes and higer council tax etc and they set the system up in such a way that it keeps the rich and poor argueing amongs themselves rather than realising whos fault it all is in teh first place

Re: council tax bill?
 

I would probably pay less if it was poll tax than the system we have now yet I don't believe the poll tax was anyting like fair. At the time I lived in a small terraced house with my mum and dad. Our rates were £180/year under the poll tax that same property was contributing nearly £1K. They didn't come to empty the bins 3x as ofeten and I'm sorry Neil but emptying a half full or full bin takes the same time/effort. likewise our street didn't suddenly get 3x as many street lights.

In honesty, we probably need as usual some form of compromise system. A basic 'charge per person' to cover stuff that you would be individually responsible for and a charge per property to cover ammenities provided to that property. In that way people with multiple household pay for all their properties and have a charge agaisnt what the themselves utilise.


Won't happen though, its too much like common sense
