Re: Come visit... but you have to pay council tax!

You better move to Australia...no TV Tax, not tax for visitors...they've finally removed taxes from our bank deposits and withdrawals...But according to the finanial experts we pay one of the worlds highest personal income tax rates - and almost evertyhting has a 10% GST...I guess all those taxes 'opaque' for you guys are hidden for us

Oh dear...100% tax free fun - get out there with your cricket bat, or golf club and go for your life.. ..Yukko! I don't live near them but apparently they do all sorts of things and encourage the kids to get batting practice . It makes me cringe. Some of the things they do is really sick.. (as in yuk for me not cool as it is for the kids!) It's even made the news headlines at times...(reporters have nothing better to work on???...I guess tht's what we get for having tax free tv!

yes in the uk, we have to pay a license fee to watch any tv. this fee goes to the bbc. regardless of whether or not you watch bbc or even if you only have subscription tv. if you have the capability to receive tv broadcasts originating in the uk, then you *must* buy a license whether you watch them or not.

it suxx big time and it costs around £110 a year.

if you're caught watching tv without a license you can be fined upto £1000 or even sent to prison in extreme circumstances, and they can confiscate your equipment.

£110 a year!! Hell, I'd be upset too. As Jenclas said, we don't have specific taxes like this in Australia, but do have one of the higher income tax levels. I think we pay about 8 cents a day each ($29.20AUD / £12.17 a year)for our ABC (Aussie eqiv of BBC) which I don't mind paying as I hate commercial TV, but £110 a year is about $264AUD (over 72 cents a day) and I might have a thing or two to say about that.
