I think one problem is that there are far too many taxes!
If there was ONE tax, say income tax, that was higher, and then all road tax, council tax, value added tax, fuel, alcohol & tobacco taxes, all of that was just dropped.
You'd get less in your wage packet, but goods become cheaper, services become cheaper, you don't have to pay the council - so it should even itself out.
IR would then apportion a certain %age to central government funds, and split the rest between local councils based on population per electral register.
Just an idea... throwing it to the debate.
