Tommo68 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Poll tax council tax, call it what you will, even reductions are not applied fairly. Small...not 50% .... reduction for living alone. No reduction at all for no-one living in a privately owned house. How the hell that works I'll never know. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 if 5 people are sharing a house and the tax is levied on the amount of people sharing this house (5 x people) then 2 people sharing a house are only paying twice the amount for the same services what part of that don't you understand tell me why 5 people against 2 people would use more of these services not the same service tho' is it? 5 potential mugging victims v 2, so likely to use more police time 5 potential house fires if they cook/smoke individually v 2, so more need for fire service 5 people borrowing books from the library v 2 5 potential cars needing road infrastructure v 2 etc etc the only one I can immediately think of that supports your argument is 1 bin per house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berberis Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 A fair system is one in which everyone using the services pays for the services. Does someone owning a massive garden use more council services than someone living in a flat? A fair system is one in which everyone pays for what they use.

Tommo68 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 A fair system is one in which everyone pays for what they use. A fair system would indeed be one where people only pay for the services that they use or from which they benefit ... or in some cases ..could potentially benefit. . .
