That the council tax we are forced to pay to 'camden council' is really paid to a subsidiary - an unlimited trading business. The address on your council tax bill will be Town Hall (extension) Argyle Street, which is listed as a profit making unlimited business. Camden council has around 25 such trading businesses.
Trading is I believe defined as 'the willing exchange of goods and services'. Council tax is a property tax, and as we are forced to pay such taxes against our will, how can camden council be conducting lawful trading? I have requested from camden council that they provide me with proof that I am lawfully liable for the council tax they have demanded from me.
Camden council takes around £100m a year in council tax from residents. This makes up around 10% of their annual income of nearly a £1b. Camden council doesn't actually say what this money is spent on, not even in the booklet that comes with the recent council tax bill residents would have received. Have a read of it - it doesn't actually make clear where council tax is spent - it is lumped in with other expenditure.
Local councils via the Local Government Association, are campaigning to the government for greater powers to be able to collect up to 3/4 of their annual income from local charges and taxes. This is the part of the 'double devolution' deal that local residents/tax payers are being conned into thinking will benefit them - it won't - it will be double taxation and charging and as 'CAMDEN COUNCIL' has so many profit making trading businesses, that have untold directors, partners and associated members, they can and do reward themselves handsomely from the profits. Big bonus's and pensions for bleeding residents dry, how cool is that?
