Council house bands need revisiting. a £1M house pays a few hundred more than a £300K 3 bedroom in a dicey area down south.
But at least Mr Monaco or Mr Milk Carton might actually pay some UK tax under this system.
It might be worth revisiting all the subsidies it seems half of the rich are getting paid farming subsidies.
Of course within months all the serious money's houses will become charities or similar so they don't pay it.

I wonder - would Her Majesty be also forced to pay higher rate of tax?
If they use council tax bands then surely it would be fixed amount for any house over £X, thus people who are really wealthy like DimPrawn will pay pittance, not fair!!!

Tax what you earn, tax what you spend, tax what you buy, tax what you sell, even tax things for just existing.

Tax on breathing as well, don't forget. We all laughed it wouldn't happen, and now it has.

How about a soap tax? Then the soap dodgers would be tax dodgers and they'd have to think twice before sounding off.

That would be very very popular I recon.

Can the dear politicians not come up with the next level of meta tax? Are they really that short on creativity?
