Secretive plans from the Federation of European Socialist States contain 'Europe Tax' proposals that could cost £6bn - between £155 and £260 per household per year.

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/136641/Secret-...

The leaked proposals, seen by the Daily Express, state that Britain should lose the billions of pounds in rebate that was agreed by Margaret Thatcher 25 years ago.

The plans – with a foreword by European Union Commissioner Jose Manuel Barroso – would cost every British family at least £155 a year.

They would also mean Brussels being given the power to dip straight into taxpayers’ pockets.

Possible taxes suggested in the report – which could be discussed as soon as the start of the European summit in Brussels tomorrow – include levies on phone calls, flights, financial transactions or carbon emissions. They would have to raise about £6.4billion a year – the net cost of belonging to the EU and equivalent to about £260 for every household in the UK.

A huge majority of readers backs Britain leaving the EU, the Daily Express phone poll revealed last night. Asked whether the UK should get out, an astonishing 99 per cent said yes. Of the thousands who voted, just a few readers said the UK ought to stay in.


Jim McConalogue of the European Foundation, which wants to renegotiate European treaties, said: “It is clear from its so-called ‘reform’ agenda that Brussels is committed to the daylight ­robbery of the British taxpayer.”


Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, branded the idea of direct taxation from Brussels an “outrage”.

What the Tory government needs to do is just turn off the financial tap to Brussels until we get what we want out of them, inlcuding CAP reform and signed off acounts.

It's blackmail, but it's the way the French have always behaved towards the EU. We are just mugs.

Enough is enough, its time we all sent a clear message to Westminster and the EU UNLESS we get the choice to make the decision ourselves (as we were promised) we will not pay this (hell those guys across the pod built a nation on this approach and its good enough for me)!!

Unfortunately we have two parties with a chance of winning the election and a third with possibly some influence in the event of a hung parliament. All 3 are completely wedded to the EU. So who's your message for?

Not surprised in the slightest and to be honest was thinking the taxation of the UK to pay for the EU would be far more. I await the next stealth EU taxes which will no doubt fulfil my expectations.

The 5th of November 2009 is now officially the first “slap anybody who voted labour” day

I don't really see how the Conservatives could be described as "wedded" to the EU. They are now united around a Eurosceptic agenda.

I think they make a lot of noises but will do nothing about rolling back the eu influence over Britain. If they were truly united around a Eurosceptic agenda (they are not) they would publicly inform Brussels now that the UK will have a referendum on Lisbon, even if ratification has happened prior to the election. As it is if the treaty is ratified and Blair crowned they will just accept it.

Let's hope the EURC are a bit better than our own st operation.

I am fking steaming having just put the phone down on this pappy, phlegmatic woman robot WHO TOLD ME MY fkING £2K REBATE WOULD BE PAID BY NOV 13th. I am so angry, I could punch a wall. I am fking short of cash at the moment and that £2K they have STOLEN off me would be very useful.

I would love to know how the fkery it is possible to justify a frigging 3 fkING MONTH WAIT between getting my paper in the post and paying me my money.

You can bet your bottom bloody dollar that HMRC would be raping my arse until the lining of my colon came out and then selling it on ebay to fund my shortfall plus interest, plus charge for this and that, before wiping their knob on the curtains.

I am steaming about these thieving bds. Properly steaming. I am going to do my damnedest to avoid paying as much tax to these most wasteful of contemptable s. Jeez, they are the rapist who steals as well. It is bad enough that they waste my money on st and other nonsensical ste like the fking EU, but to steal my bloody money and then dither for 3 MONTHS paying it back is a step to far. I gather that half of the bloody problem was the fkup surrounding their new computer system. The way they go about things, you'd think it was people on horseback with purses of gold coins.

GIVE ME MY MONEY YOU S ranting

My guess is that the EU will integrate it's tax system into HMRC, so you get no choice and a st service to boot.

fk them and their stty service. curseshoottank :O rantingargue

It will of course be much easier to claim rebates from Brussels.

Easier that is than removing the teeth from a hungry great white shark one by one using your bare hands.

Neat solution, doomed to hit the rocks smile

Brussels would train taxable units (people) to put gravy on it.

That's because they aren't.

Isn't it odd how we are getting dragged along by our hair, like a child on it's first day of school, by people who should really know better, in light of this. rolleyes

I can't see how the whole EU expensive experiment isn't doomed to fail. The only people who want it are some politicians (who stand to get more money/power)

OUT NOW
