I do!DRZ said:There is a thread on this over in SC.
I personally dont like the implications of it.
i think it's a lot of fuss over nothing. they will only be collecting a small amount of data about how their own property is used. it's likely to help improve the service and thus benefit everyone.DRZ said:I personally dont like the implications of it.

long term it could be a good thing in a way... i mean if people get taxed on waste they're going to be more consious about the waste that comes from products, like you mentioned, so excess packaging would be frowned upon and long down the road it could mean a significant reduction in the amount of unnecessary waste. depends how much people would get taxed on it though. and of course "if" there is a reduction in unnecessary waste it would be waaaay down the line, so it's not something that harry taxpayer is going to care about.DRZ said:By forced, I mean that if I want to go out today and buy a TV, it comes in an outer box, an inner cardboard sleeve, polystyrene, plastic bags galore etc. Ready meals are in loads of packaging as are a great many products. Yes, it might not be as appealing to consumers who pick the products but it would sure as hell reduce the amount of landfill each year if we taxed the nads off packaging![]()

A MUCH fairer taxation model would be to tax the source, that way the actual problem is attacked rather than the soft option of adding to the tax bill of "harry taxpayer".
but harry still loses out with that situation though, as product prices would surely increase. i agree it's probably the best option nonetheless.DRZ said:A MUCH fairer taxation model would be to tax the source, that way the actual problem is attacked rather than the soft option of adding to the tax bill of "harry taxpayer".
