They should do away with Income Tax and Council Tax and just charge everyone who buys anything 40% VAT!

End of!

Nice and simple.

You spend ... you contribute!

You wanna hang onto "money" you stay deprived of life's riches. Fair's fair! :D

For once I agree, no income tax but a sliding luxury tax ..no vat on books or food or base items .... if you want a 52" tv or mercedes you pay...


I too am in agreement...

And to prove it I said exactly the same thing herea week ago! :P

In the UK they should bring back the Poll Tax, charge per person in a household. That is definitely fairer than charging an old couple the same as a family of 20 worthy oriental gentleman that live next door the same amount as their houses are the same size!

Or perhaps they should just introduce a Pole tax?
