Well it seems that Brown’s bunch is at it again! We really must be in pretty dire financial straits when there are proposals afoot to tax householders for the views from their houses. Before you think this is some belated April Fools Day Joke let me assure you that it is not!
Information gained under the Freedom of Information Act has uncovered proposals for new taxes on all householders. Millions of homes have already been assessed for this new Council Tax, which could add as much as an extra £600 on your Council Tax Bill. Homes have been given “value significant codes” which will make virtually every desirable feature taxable
So far nearly 100,000 homes face being penalised for simply having a scenic view from their windows. Even those with a mere glimpse of a river, hill or park stand to pay more, with a special category for “partial scenic views.”
The following information gives you some idea of what the government have in store for you when your next Council Tax Bill arrives

So now you can work out just what is going to increase your Council Tax Bill for next year, and start disposing of those patios, swimming poools, greenhouses, double glazed conservatories etc. and save yourself a fortune!
The Government has already spent a staggeringly enormous £13,000,000 on the Valuation Office Agency’s scheme to build this detailed database.
Just how much more of OUR MONEY is Gordon Brown’s bunch of cronies going to waste in trying to redress the sadly depleted economy which he (when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer) and his inept Government have allowed to develop? How much longer is it going to be before our once great nation is officially declared bankrupt?
