Council tax to be replaced by new brick tax, MoneySavingExpert.com reveals

Paired with an annual square metre land tax it would be a nice proposal - as long as it includes plenty of tax bands to adequately differentiate between the enormous range and scale of property holdings.

The days of mammoth sprawling estates and preposterously over-built mansions on unrealistically and laughably low tax bands need to be brought to an end. For the large-scale stealing and hoarding of precious building/living space from a community - which is on course to effectively recreate the social disaster of the previous centuries' scourge of slums and ghettos - there should be a requirement to pay the full year's tax for each of the extra average sized free-hold properties which could have occupied the space instead.

For the cost of the damage to today's increasingly space-squeezed society, some yearly brick/land tax bills should be in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, as councils should be able to levy a charge for an amount equivalent to all of the extra ungenerated taxation that is lost from each and every measured plot of private land which can - and should - be housing families and bringing in separate tax revenues.

An annual council/property tax should include a far higher levy attributable to the greater cost of social dis-service caused than on social services received.

I don't think this thread is meant to be taken seriously.

I look forward to a carbon foot print tax.

Everyone will be tagged by a permanent collar, which records your every activity. An army of Environmental auditors approved by Greenpeace will produce a carbon emissions assessment. Americans will refuse to sign up, the Taliban would just say "Die, Infidel, Die."

And then we find out it's all a conspiracy to give jobs to unemployed EPC inspectors.
