Actually, the Office of National Statistics now classifies the TV Licence fee as tax.
- alkonaut 11y agoIt certainly is indistinguishable from a tax from the licensee's perspective, so I agree with the classification in that sense (e.g. for evaluating the tax pressure of UK citizens etc). The important takeaway however is that unlike proper taxes the money isn't politically controlled.
