Council Tax

[Paul Cummins]

I bet you don't though.

[Paul Cummins]

Nothing sly about it, though, is there Roger.

the big point that Reay misses is this - if I have the history he tried to claim, I couldn;t possibly have been in council-tax debt at the time he claims I was.

So was I a council tax defaulter or an ex-offender?

He's provided evidence of neither, of course...

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

Not had our kooncil tax notice yet...getting close to first april...do you think they will let us off with paying it ?....

[Brian Reay]

No reason they should let people like you and me off- pensions aren't reduced etc. Plus, you keep telling us you've got more money than you know what to do with.

[S Viemeister]

I had mine a week ago, and have already paid it.

You need to move somewhere less pikey. My council tax here in London about half that.

[Fredxx]

Considered downsizing?

If you've got a back garden, you could do what Turnip and all the other yokels do, Dig yourself a septic tank.

However if you haven't got a garden, I'm not sure a window box would be much good,

[Brian Reay]

Just think, one reason it is so high is because some refused to pay it- even after being take to court.

There needs to be some kind of register which ensures anyone who has a rent and/or Council tax debt outstanding they refuse to pay can?t rent or buy a property anywhere. Renting to them would be a criminal offence. If the own a property, it should be seized to settle the debt.

If the end up homeless, tough. They elected to be that way.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Just which cloud did you grab that from?

[Roger Hayter]

It's actually part of his sly harassment vendetta against an individual; he believes said individual got into a bit of bother catching up with his council tax some years ago.

[Brian Reay]

I bet you think shop lifting ( theft) is victimless crime- it isn?t, it results in higher prices for others.

[Brian Gaff (Sofa 2)]

Yes mine came on 15th March, twice. No I don't know why they are wasting more trees either. Brian

[Steve Walker]

Ours just emailed a link to log into their website and download the bill from there.

Of course it does. But you'd need to provide figures of how much. Likely to cost a lot more to prevent it totally.

But you carry on thinking those who manage to evade paying the council tax makes it 'so high'. Since it suits your agenda.

[Brian Reay]

So you approve if they don't get caught.

What a surprise.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Thanks once again for trying to put words in my mouth.

Your hatred of your fellow man is the surprise here. What caused it? Whatever - so sad to go around being bitter all the time.
