Simple Question

I will pay it even though it's unfair because I agree with taxing wealth and the tax base should be wide . BUT it should be means tested and relative to the size and location of the property

I am waiting for Ray D'Arcy to make a statement linking this with emmigration

Potential-Monke · 15-12-2011, 14:32

I'll pay it as long as everyone else has to pay it. No exemptions.

Fathers not going to pay it.

Said he had no problem paying it up until he heard about having too fill out a form. Besides local councils get enough funding as it is.

Not bloody likely. Pay enough tax to prop up European banks already, would have no problem if this was going to local services but there's not a fiddler's chance in hell that this will filter down to local services.

You ever been there when you're completely broke and you have to go count up and bag your change from your copper jar and your hands stink from the smell of all the brock.

That's Ireland that is.

I will pay and so will 90% of the people who say the won't.

Armchair rebels surrender easily.

I'm not paying it because I don't own a house. I'll never be able to afford one. I'm going to have to live with about 6 people. Is this the end of 2 person couples and cohabitation?

KTRIC · 15-12-2011, 14:54

I'm renting a house, does my landlord or myself pay it?

Carter P Fly · 15-12-2011, 14:57

Ill pay because I'm a grownup and a professional and dont need courts and convictions in my life for the sake of a hundred quid.

bleg · 15-12-2011, 14:58

No, I rent!

Your landlord will have to pay it but I can guarantee he will pass the cost onto you one way or another.

The owner of the property pays and there will be a hefty fine for non payment.

It's €100, that's around €8.33 a month.

I'm finding it absolutely baffling how people can get worked up over this, yet will happily spend as much on a single drink on a night out....

Get a grip. Seriously.
