I'm struggling with your definition of tax I'm afraid. Does that mean that the charge for making a phone call via BT is a tax too, as much of the BT network was built by public money.
Also, my local council offer office units in council owned properties (bought with my Council Tax money one assumes). They charge start-up businesses £4,000 a year to rent them. Is this a tax too? Or is rent?
