A mobile phone licence ?

Marie ridgeway · 2010-11-27 23:28:58

We all know the goverment need to come up with extra taxes so what about a mobile phone licence ? Like the tv licence everybody who owns a mobile phone would have to buy an annual licence for it. maybe €25 per year? I think it would be a good idea and pretty painless.

Whats your point?

If you think there isn't VAT on prepay phones ,

it will be interesting to see what goes up when the VAT rate changes to 22% and 23%

it will also be interesting to see what doesn't go down when VAT rate drops again - if anyone has a list of companies that didn't drop charges when VAT went from 21% back to 20% we could boycott them if they don't adsorb some of the VAT increase
