if you think you pay to much tax well guess what theres a new one coming out :D youll love this.

tony blair according to news papers (and no xabbarus these wern the sun mirror or mail) anyways ....

basicaly the labour government is to tax your view ie if your house has a nice senic view then you will pay more tax than a person with say a view of a main road.

getting worse :(

Could you find a credible link to the issue in question?

It seems to me this is a case of it being a tax on one thing but getting blown out of proportion.

Ah yes the Daily Telegraph, that bastion of English facism.

Only certainties are death and taxes......................................for Telegraph Readers :lol:

The original valuation calculations were done on the back of cigarette packs usualy during a drive-past. Front was all.
So the crafty property owner dropped 'ribbon' type development in favour of the 'Hollywood' set build in the back garden.
The so called 'view' is the least of the problem - extensions, more bedrooms, more bathrooms ......you name it.

But tho they have got their beady eye on your 'precious things' rest assured that however complex the proposals............
probably next time the same guy will drive past your domus, scribbling away, but getting paid twice as much. :-j

In Norway we pay tax depending on the value witch our estate has. If this is the kind of tax your talling about, I dont see any problems with it.

Gorduz - This is not Estate Duty or a form of Income Tax. It is a Council Tax - a local authority Tax which is assesed on the
''value'' of your property.

All UK domestic properties were cursorily assigned bandwith values following a derisory external property inspection.
The Chancellors aim, correctly :damn: is to readjust this crude assessment tool.
Unlike you - I do have a problem with this as I am going to pay more tax. :arrgh!: :hulk:
