Default

The government should come clean and admit that this is a Tax on owning Broadcast Receiving Equipment they call it, erroneously, the Licence Fee" implying that the BBC is responsible. True the BBC gets the money, but it is a GOVERNMENT imposed tax. It's just surprising that they haven't added a £50 extra "Green" surcharge, or maybe they get enough from the so-called Air Passenger Duty.

Edit: Presumably you are aware that if your computer, laptop, Tablet or phone is capable of receiving "real time" broadcasts it also needs a licence?
