@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Not if someone else is living there FFS!

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave If you own the property, you’re subject to council tax charges by the local authority.

Work hard for 50 yrs and save for a small 2 bedroom apartment in Wales as a bolt hole and sometimes work in peace at. Here’s your Council Tax bill.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Can you not read? We were talking about when my mate was staying in ‘24. Owned by me but he was living here and I wasn’t so qualified for 25% reduction. Somehow you didn’t sound happy with that though even though it was to the LA’s rules? I’m here now though so all quite simple.

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave You’re changing your story fyi. Do you own the property or not? If you do then yes you’re subject to the charges. If you do but you’re saying someone lives there (who doesn’t), then that’s fraud.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave I’m wasn’t there though so by the LA’s own rules, I was considered a guest. Somehow though, this doesn’t suit you?

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave Because it’s mandated by parliament div. Argue with a wall.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave No I'm not, the land is freehold and belongs to me, not the county. I pay DCWW for my foul and surface water disposal and if I'm not here I'm not using any of the highways or facilities. So what exactly am I supposed to be paying for?

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave You own a property, you’re using county land.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave You have failed to answer the simple question of where is it fair for someone to pay for something that they do not use?

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave I have plenty to say about HB cheats, I am with you on that. Difference is I don’t like cheats regardless of if they’re poor or rich like yourself.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave As I said, define main residence when both are used near equally. Get out of here with your Gestapo bullshit as you would have to prove to the contrary and intent. An extremely hard job if use is near 50/50 as I doubt any jury would convict.

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave Like I said, if you updated all those things to something that wasn’t your main residence, it would be mass fraud. If you ever get caught if that is the case, then the LA would be the least of your worries

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Whoopie fuckin doo for you. Please explain to me where exactly in the game of life does it say that it is fair for someone to pay for services that they don’t use, irrelevant of how much they earn? Go and target the real HB cheats with your Gestapo bullshit not the easy picking!

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave You very well may pay more tax than I earn, but you also reap the reward of that. The simple truth is you pay less council tax as a proportion to your income than I do. Almost 10% of my income goes straight to council tax, I imagine yours is far less, and I don’t dodge mine.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave No comment about me following your rules then? Whether you like it or not, if a person is using 2 properties roughly equally they can choose where and you know full well that it will cost the LA far more to investigate and prove to the contrary than any money recovered. 😉

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave “Frequently” using a property doesn’t mean it’s your main residence. Where’s your car insurance address? What’s your HMRC address? What’s your driving license address? Where’s your registered GP? What county are your kids registered in (if applicable)? Etc etc

@Welsh_Dragon_71 @DanWalesReform It wasn't Thatcher, it was Scargill and the stupid fuckers that chose to listen and follow him. Even my grandfather who was a lifelong miner and former proud commie (in his younger days when there was real poverty divide) said the same.

It appears that @DanWalesReform is an admirer of Margaret Thatcher. Don’t forget what Thatcher did to Wales! bbc.co.uk/newyddion/erth…

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Read your own rules, I was classed as a guest and hence no law was broken despite it eating away at your lefty beliefs. So, not a single fuck given! Get over yourself, you're not the gestapo despite you wanting to think and portray that you are!

@Baaa_bara @highfivedave You luckily seemed to encountered someone who didn’t bother doing their job properly. A shame, you shouldn’t be flaunting your success at committing fraud.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave What you fail to acknowledge is that as a HBO, we most probably pay more in tax than what you earn, without the extra we put into the economy. Yet still you want to penalize us more. Good luck with the UK as I'll be out of here soon and taking my money with me & I'm not alone!

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave How do you define main residence for someone as myself or the OP who is also a businessman and has stated that he frequently uses his 2nd place for business? What do you define temp for work as I've been on projects for up to 3 years. By your reasoning mine should be in England!

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave told them I had no obligation to provide that and as far as they were concerned I was NFA. They backed down. When he left I just changed it back, again with no problem. DVLA only asks for an address, nowhere does it state main.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Oh yeah, in ‘24 I let a mate stay at mine after he split from his wife. Subsequently had a demand from LA wanting to remove my single occupancy discount. Stood firm and told them I wasn’t paying it as I wasn’t there more than 2 nights/week. Asked for my other address and (cont)

@THemingford Only a selfish cunt who has never run a business or had the self-drive to attempt would make such a comment!

If you can only pay the inadequate minimum wage, you have not got a viable business.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Furthermore I’ve spent the majority of the last 25 years living in England with work Mon-Fri. According to your rhetoric not only am I breaking the law with DVLA etc, I should also re-register my main home as a weekend holiday let. See how stupid you sound?

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Not sure which LA you work for but it’s definitely not mine. I also don’t care what you say, there is no legal requirement for a person to hand over copies of their financial information to register/de-register for council tax.

@Bloop10101 @highfivedave Also a person can change residence in a day, so by your rhetoric they would have to build up a financial footprint at their new address before you would even consider changing their council tax? Utter bollox and you’re making this up as you go along.

@IagoApCymru @Bozelgarth @20NPHartleyHare It’s exactly the same as the bus companies needing extra subsidies to run the same level of service without increasing fares. WG are trying to slip that through unnoticed without mention of 20mph though!

@IagoApCymru @Bozelgarth @20NPHartleyHare Absolutely true. Longer journeys resulted in additional drivers/vehicles needed due to driver hour limits which made the route unprofitable. Additionally drivers didn’t want to risk their licence. You don’t have to be Einstein to realise it couldn’t be done for the same price!

Porthcawl Town Council not content with their new Tourism Tax & hating tourist's cars with their Crusade against motorists, they now prevent what tourists still decide to visit- preventing them from parking, driving them away & destroying what businesses remain! SHAME ON YOU 🫵
