"the Community Charge, aka the Poll Tax, was based on individuals. It was scrapped because of the widespread resistance to it"

That is absolutely correct, Gaffer.
I for one was totally against it at the time because there were more occupants in our house and our bill would have shot up!
But now we are down to the bare bones, looking back, the poll tax would suit me now!
It was a double edged sword at the time, and probably still is.
