It was the Labour Party that started calling it the bedroom tax. Remember them? Yes, the brainless numpties that nearly bankrupted this country.

It is a reduction in subsidy, not a tax.

Is over-occupying classed as Bedroom Tax evasion or avoidance?;)

According to Black's Law Dictionary, a tax is a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government [...] a payment exacted by legislative authority." It "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government [...] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name.

Best check with the Liebour party numpties on that one.
