Or he may have asked "dad why do I have to pay council tax when I share a room we my young brother?"

Cause we are "all in this together son, all in it together"

Lol.

That's the point, size of house should have **** all to with it.

May as well tax folk on the size of their nostrils cause they are breathing more air.

Nothing wrong with the community charge except no 100% rebate.

I thought socialists all loved the community.

And those in 3/4 bedroom council houses paid the same as those in private studio flats.

Cuts both ways.

Anyway, golf......back in 5 hours.

It was suppose to replace the old rates system and was unfair, hence it getting abolished after a few years. The council tax is fairer imo and also localised.

Couple across the road earn 150,000 between them but pay less tax than the couple next door to me who earn less than 60k...

Their crime, saving up and working hard to get a slightly bigger house for their kids...

Whatever happened to the SNPs promise to abolish the “unfair council tax” as they put it.

17 years on from Sturgeon wanting to scrap it, yup it’s still here.

Spot on, a legitimate criticism and one that I'm surprised we don't hear that much about - its something people care more about than gender reform and inclusive policies

The council tax is no different from the rates system.
The rates system was also localised as every year each council set their own rate in the £ under the old rates system.

[eric_sinclair]

Because you are earning a wage?

Yes a taxable wage, the poll tax was apparently to replace the rates system which was per household not per head.
