I paid my council tax today online and on the very last screen you are able
to save the file which is an online VAT receipt, showing all your payment
details in.

Great I thinks, I'll be able to print my receipt out later.

Logged off after saving only to realise that the file has an extension of
.cfm

Trawling through the net I find that it is a ColdFusion file and the prog
is very expensive.

Anyone know of a prog that will let you view and print .cfm files that is
relatively cheap or free.

What on earth is the point of getting a receipt? On-line payment means you
have proof enough from your own bank statement. And since when is there VAT
on council tax?

You only ever need a receipt for someone else's benefit - so if the need
ever arises, just send them your CFfile.... they'll soon decode it if
they're really interested....

An email of complaint has been sent to Council but I bet they do now't as
per usual

Good job too - I don't want them wasting my money on receipts for fully
traceable transactions.
