i just see this as another money making excercise, perpitrated to tax us even heavier then before but you could argue it could allow funds for local councils 'extra' funds, to be allocated to areas that really do need the money....... |
Well as the thread starter and such a young one, I doubt very much whether you have yet to endure the process of paying this tax yet.
Your sentiments and ideas are in the right place but you have to learn this is just another step on the ladder and enduring the joys of becoming a home owner.
