Whats everyones oppinion on this? Seems to me this being a 'Labour' tax it may be the final straw to get rid at the elections. Like in the States with the Repulicans. Make one party look so bad people will choose the other and think that it is actualy real positive change! Not that it makes a difference with any party. But no one will like this, it'll be like the poll tax all over again. This would bring in a change. Im sure the conservatives will get in. Well if there is another general election! We may go all Europe by then?

This may not have made any sense....But what can ya do aye! ;)

Yes I'm sure stories like this are in the news to make Labour unpopular, but I shouldn't be surprised if it happens anyway and the Tories will say oh we didn't agree with it, but it would be too expensive to go back now Labour have introduced it.

Perhaps they will tax men on how many pubes they have? Same for women.

Don't ask me to explain how they would implement the above tax send your queries to Number 10.

So these corrupt SCUM tax people on having a nice view?:mad: So if your view is a Nuclear Power Station do you get a discount?

Secret Labour tax on having a patio: Millions of homes assessed for charge which hammers middle classes

Shocking new details of a stealth tax of up to £600 for householders with views of any kind, patios, conservatories and even a nearby bus stop are revealed for the first time today.
Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show millions of homes have already been secretly assessed by Labour in preparation for council tax hikes expected to target the middle class after the Election.
Homes have been given 'value significant codes' which will make virtually every desirable feature taxable.
Although not every home has been assessed, so far nearly 100,000 householders face being penalised simply for having a scenic view from their windows.
Even those who have a mere glimpse of a river, hill or park - or any other pleasing outlook - stand to pay more under a special category for 'partial scenic views'.
Worst hit among the 11 types of view are likely to be the 26,346 assessed so far as enjoying a full sea view and the 21,709 who overlook a golf course or farmland.
People with garages, conservatories and patios - and even parking spaces - are also in the firing line.
While the list is by no means complete, the figures indicate the chilling detail with which the inspectors are examining Britain's homes.
The documents also reveal the sheer pettiness of the new rules. Balconies are divided into those up to three square metres, three to five square metres and so on. The 'Conservatories' category even covers lean-tos and differentiates between single and double-glazed.

The Valuation Office Agency, which is compiling the massive database of every home in England, has divided the three-quarters of a million people with conservatories into four groups.
The 115,610 with double-glazed conservatories will be hit harder than the 43,821 with single glazing.
People with patios could be in for a shock. A total of 4,932 homes have been registered as having 'value significant' patios - Whitehall jargon for big ones, perhaps with built-in barbecues. There are likely to be tens of thousands more.
