MADAM, Can anything be done about this scandalous tax. It seems out of control.
For many on fixed incomes, it is a continual worry and gets worse year by year. For some the only recourse may be to resort to social security.
Unlike income tax, there is no way of alleviating the problem through allowable expenses.
Single people or couples pay the same amount as four or more in a household, yet use proportionately less of the service provided.
I'd be prepared to pay last year's amount plus 2.7 per cent for inflation. Let's take action!
P P MANN,
Cotts Lane, Lugwardine.
