Tax on cable I don't have.

Published by Colin on 15th December 2000.

I received a letter from the tax people this morning asking me to pay the TV tax because they noticed I was subscribed to cable TV.

I may indeed be suscribed to cable, but I paid a supplement at installation for a filter that would only let data signals through.

You'd think the cable company would then be intelligent enough not to pass my name on to the tax office. I love bureaucracy...
