Energy Tax

not a DM reader are youcboarders said:Hi.I've recently come across some information regarding energy companies and I would like to know if there's any truth in it.Apparently we already pay energy companies, ie national grid, for our energy in our tax and vat. And we only pay these energy companies the money to supply a meter and maintenance and the energy itself is incorporated in our tax.Because we pay for the energy in our tax, can I cancel paying my energy company and legally there would be no court repercussions?Getting some truth on this would be very much appreciated?
