Answer 1

I would kick lots of forgen people out the country that take all the benifts etc.. If there not paying Taxes. People I would take child benifits away from people that keep having children when they know they cant afford them. I would certinatly tighten up things in the imigration department. Hopfully then Taxes would beable to be reduced. So better for all.

Answer 2

Id tax metropolitan liberals : chiapata bread, the Guardian, those stupid cotton scarfs they where indoors and a-symmetric haircuts.

Answer 3

I would have taxed the mega rich with non more than 2 million to spend per year.( the rest taxed ) I think that this is plenty of money to spend in a year. to cut short if he is only one day a year in UK  ( just visiting) he/she as to pay simple if not do not came here. And then I would have abolished the full income tax and NI to everyone who is  working up to £70k and above £70K pay just 10% without loop hole that are used by those who really are getting money and do not pay a penny or so.

Answer 4

theres not a whole lot left to tax...

Answer 5

Pet ownership, I make sure that every person who had a pet had to have a licence for it, Say £15 for a small dog and £50 for a large dog, horses would be £200 and rodents just £5. all charged anually and of course with fines if you didnt pay.

Answer 6

that would be kool

Answer 7

I'd do something that Sir Humphrey Appleby would no doubt class as a "novel" idea --  Get rid of many of the taxes that we have.  

The whole sorry mess of a system is so complex and convoluted that much of the tax money collected is wasted on all the bureaucratic departments which collect & process it.

Let's bring the whole thing down to one or two basic taxes.  It would mean scrapping thousands of worthless civil service pen-pushing jobs, of course.

Answer 8

I would tax yahoo answers contributors, with discount for learning to use the spellcheck.

Answer 9

Just that - I would tax THOUGHTS...

Considering that most politicians don't have ANY thoughts of their own - I'd ensure that my cabinet had the ability to at least LISTEN to the thoughts of the nation.

Who knows - maybe one of these days a Politician will actually THINK of something themselves ;););););)

Answer 10

Thinking about it  there  isn't much left  that isn't already taxed to the hilt by Brown and co!.  i suppose  a 1 p or 1c  tax on all text messages  might raise a  few  ÃƒÂ‚£ or $  vat on  ever thing including food.. oh  and  how  a bout an  Internet connection tax  paid when ever your  broadband is used..  or how about  an  tax on wifi equipment or wireless routers...

Answer 11

Man United fans, Boris Johnson's hair and Jeremy Clarkson.

Everybody else (apart from bnp and tory voters) would get a tax rebate.

Answer 12

Air, Water and s*x

Answer 13

Since everthing else is pretty much taxed! I would be creative, like: Once a person dies, I would ask heaven's representatives to start a tax division there. Any unpaid taxes would have to be paid before you enter the pearly gates!

Answer 14

Hi RobboOne,

Shoe leather, higher 2nd vehicle tax, mobile phones to name a few.

Regards....

CoffeeBean

Answer 15

Anything made by the Coca-Cola company.

They're manipulative, pollute heavily in Asia, and rumoured to have murdered their union workers.

Them, and any multi-national company earning at the expense of unskilled workers [which is practically everyone, lol].

Ooo, I'd also tax Cameron every time he spoke. And and Tory complaint along the lines of 'if we were in power, this would be different...'

Answer 16

I'd scrap council tax and replace it with a local income tax - make it fairer on low income families.  Maybe put a tax on earnings over 100K P.A.  Anyone earning that much can afford it.

Answer 17

Air and s*x. The air is poor quality (so i would refuse to pay as a consumer, lol) and i get little s*x, so i would be taxed very little myself . lol.
