Comment | While their point is incredibly unpopular, it is entirely accurate.
I used to live on an unadopted road with zero council services in a remote part of Scotland. We received no road maintenance, bin services, cleaning etc etc - it was all up to ourselves.
Still had to pay full council tax. The only bit we were let off was the water and sewerage.
Tax is not a payment for services. The money collected might be used to provide services, but taxation is not legally linked to their provision in any way. |
