My tax protest
The council-tax rebel we discussed a few posts below says she is going to withhold the same amount from next year's payments. This is outrageous - all it means is higher bills for the law-abiding majority.In protest I am going to withhold my share of the extra £60 (£53.71 in 2005, so it'll be more next year) that she is refusing to pay and so the rest of us have to pay. Taxpayers or council taxpayers, depends on who pays her share. Let's say it's council tax payers. The tax raises about £19bn, of which my share is about £1500, or about 1/12,500 thousandth [edit - I had myself down as Bill Gates earlier]. Therefore I will be witholding one-thousandth of half a pence next year, maybe a whole pence if that silly vicar is still at it too.
