We have a very similar tax system in the UK called “TV Licence”. Originally it was aimed at live broadcast but now includes BBC on demand such as iPlayer.

- toomuchtodo 5y agoIn the US we have a property tax on each property, is there any reason the TV license tax couldn’t be rolled into the UK version of that? I don’t owe PBS a tax, for example, but it comes out of the US federal budget (with donations making up a smaller contribution to their budget). It just seems odd that the UK has stuck to this funding mechanism for a national public good when there are other more frictionless options.
