Council rejects simple solution in favor of complex and unworkable one. Again.
City leaders today warned against introducing a local income tax in the Capital after branding it unworkable.
Because it's so very simple and easy to administer and requires almost no effort on the part of the council [as it will invariably be collected by the Inland Revenue], not to mention much more efficient [remember Edinburgh's just sent out nastygrams to a third of households who haven't paid last year's council tax yet...] the Council is against it.
Once again, the flat earthers win.
