Should payment towards the Royal Family be made voluntary?.

Why should absent back off? I've looked back and can't see anything offensive or agressive. Have I missed a post? All I can see is her pointing out the inequality of the tax system regarding the Royal Family and suggesting that the 62p is inaccurate because it doesn't take into account the cost of security.

Thank you vampirequeen. I think the figures about the royal accounts are quite deliberately obscured so it is extremely difficult for Brit cits/tax payers to make fair comments.

As a self-assessed person, I have had bills from Revenue and Customs telling me I owe another penny after they have received the cheque for several thousands. Where are we going with this? (They say that you can send a cheque; I just Sellotaped a penny to the bill and posted it back.)

absent A penny well spent!

I wonder what they will do with it, the penny.
Then there is the taxpayers money that is wasted sending people tiny refunds. and sending out letters reminding about small amounts. I'd be quite happy if they just rounded up to the nearest tenner or so, in favour of the NHS etc.

You know, jingl you are sometimes SO sensible! Not always, but then, who is?

Hi JessM

I think a person should get his penny tax refund if he wants it.

Kali loved the song 2nd Feb .

Very apt .

I'd rather my taxes (and my mother's) went to support the head of state than the various elderly people whose relatives Frank supports in avoiding making any contribution towards their care.

Who the flip brought this one back?!

I cannot tell a lie. It was nonu. So?

It just risks degenerating into another same old same old. I'm with j08 on this one!

Even I am looking at my comments and thinking "WTF"!

Or we could just talk songs.

Eleanor Rigby anyone? Yellow submarine?

You said ''I'd rather my taxes (and my mother's) went to support the head of state than the various elderly people whose relatives Frank supports in avoiding making any contribution towards their care''.

I do not support relatives who want to avoid making any contribution to their care.

I am sopporting people who are entitled to full NHS funding who are denied it until you start getting stern with the officials involved.

It is certainly way out of order to tell a son / daughter to sell the house they are living in if they are joint owner occupiers.
