    I see no shortage of people smoking, eating out, paying for skysports and movies etc.
    I suppose in your little world these people would be taxed(again) for going for a meal before a gig in the o2, or for having a cigarette after the gig etc etc....

    Holding a valid political and social view

    I would imagine anyone else`s view is only a valid view when its the same as your view though.

    Nasty little mind though!
    Being so self righteous is not a very nice trait in a human being...

    No point is people have plenty of money for going concerts,pubs, boozing, meals out, but when you ask them to contribute to the services that they use which are provided by the state the cry poverty!

    Now now donal, if you believe credibility amounts to anything on your keyboard, you just keep on fooling yourelf there. I have to laugh at some on this, thinking they actually amount to anything more than an anonymous internet site poster.

    But anyway, you said this,

    So now its up to them to decide, once it reaches €700, and not the law you say. And here i was thinking you said the law is all that matters, not peoples circumstances. Well done donal the (in)credible.

    Only problem is there is no guarantee the Household Charge will ever reach €700. However, for now it is €100 so the law says you must pay the Household Charge which is €100, its quite simple really.

    Yes because it is going to be replaced with a property tax, the household charge is an interim measure until the property tax has been put in place. The property tax however will be much higher than €100, but for now the household charge is in and thats €100.

    This thread asks the question will you pay the household charge, and I said yes I would because thats the law, same as motor tax, and I wouldnt consider driving my car untaxed or uninsured so I cant have a different view on the Household Charge as I am unable to pick and choose which laws to abide by and which to break.

    You must have a view. That's why God invented man. He'd have stopped on the fifth day if we were all to be sheep.

    I wont be paying the HH charge unless its taken directly out of my account, leaving me with no choice. Ive payed hamsome price for my house which is half of what it is worth now, luckliy ive have it payed off, regardless I wont be paying a cent more for it unless I can see the tangible effects of were the 100 euro has gone, like them poxy potholes that have been on my main road to work for the last ten years, occasionally filled in by up to four County Councillor workers. nope not paying

    Lol

    RoboCop is guided by three prime directives written into his programming:
    1. serve the public trust
    2. protect the innocent
    3. uphold the law.

    Does not compute.

    Couldnt care less about the use of avatars, they are of no relevance to anything in this thread. Besides if you mean the law doesnt matter to me in relation to my avatar well its Boards.ie that need to be worrying about that not me. See I worry about myself and my home and my finances I let others worry about their own.

    Like I said I will be paying it, I do not intend breaking the law. If you choose not to pay it then fine thats your own choice.

    I assume that when the property tax is brought in you wont be paying that either and you are prepared to go to court over it too? I wonder where the TD's leading the non payment campaign will be when your before the judge?

    Yeah my view is I dont want to break the law over the Household Charge so I will pay it, thought that was pretty clear from my posts.

    Agreed Ian. They crib over this tax but bet they wont get rid of a 2.5 ltr vehicle cause they need it to go to the shop to look good.

    Alot of people seem to think everyone is putting on the poor mouth just to avoid the tax. What about the legitimate home owners? I stated my circumstances earlier in the thread and was told it was only a load of waffle. Iv made sacrafices not to be in arrears, when will i get a break from paying out more money?
