So, £103 x 30m taxpayers = £3,090m + £500m for over-75s. Only a little short of £4bn. Might have to raise the level to £117 to get the full (current) amount.

steve p: That is not under consideration here. This is a simple levy on all households as it is simple to use BBC services without having a TV at all.

michael: I can't really see that working. Given that I, for example have Hyperoptic 1000Mbps at home and 4G though Three's 4G, how on earth would Newham council know that?
Ian: Once again, if you have progressive taxation - Progressive tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - people pay according to what they have, not what they get.
Let us remind outselves at this point that the new Minister, Mr Whittindale has described what you want as "a poll tax". Scrap TV Poll Tax and some DRM - top Tory .

Ian: I'm not sure if I have ever claimed 4G is everywhere... It not rolled out yet so I'm not sure why I would say it.I was just saying to michael that it would be .. Expensive .. To calculate the broadband speed to a property because there's so many ways to do it. I just meant as an example that I have two non ADSL services.

Ian: So. You want a progressive tax, but everyone pays the same?In fact, only 1 million uk adults are on minimum wages, out of the total of 30 million.I estimate 3 million might get reduced rate here. Perhaps 2 million will qualify as being unemployed?
