bm :
Our local council has come up with a winner - council tax - if you own an
empty house you used to get a rebate of 50%. Not any more, if your house is
now empty for 2 years you now pay 150% council tax. So, you own the house,
it has f-all to do with the council (IMO), you are using far less services,
bin collections etc but it costs you 150% ? C'mon. I'm wondering which way
to go on this, it can't be legal, shirley?

You make the mistake of confusing paying Council Tax with buying
services. It doesn't work like that, never did, and was never intended
to.
