If you understood what the bedroom tax is
.. you wouldn't call it a tax.

Well, it is a tax on people's homes.

No - it's limit on the amount of Benefit they receive.


. . . based on the size of their home.


No. Based on the number of bedrooms and those living in the house.



Yes, thanks for the clarification. Also, I'd add: based on tenure and/or
property type, and the characteristics of those living there, rather
than just the number. A half-decent definition was given in the Shelter
link up-thread.


Isn't that what it should be - rather than what it is?
