Well the government already *has* access to all your income data etc, so the easiest way would be to include it on the PAYE code which would deal with the vast majority of people in the country. It wouldn't be that difficult to split the money taken into "for the government" and "for X local council".

What about all the people who work for cash in hand?

What about all the people who live at temporary address and move around to where the work is *and* do it cash in hand already?
They're using resources and utilities that everyone else is paying for, but not paying anything themselves. Is that fair?

At the moment they know what your house is like and judge you on that.

No, they know what your house was like in 1991, over *twelve years* ago!

This local tax idea puts so many different and changing variables into the pot that half the money would be spent trying to get the ever-changing info on peoples wages, let alone collecting it.
|
I disagree, I think most of those variables are easily dealt with, eg it's very easy to base the tax on a person's income in the previous year (as tax is worked out anyway). If there's a major change, they can appeal, just as they can appeal against council tax.
