It's not a tax, you aren't paying.
Your housing benefit is being reduced because you have more room than you need.

It is not a tax. You aren't handing over any money, even passively.

EDIT: wait, one bedroom? You're either lying or thick. Have you got a spare room which is converted to a study or sutin? Because one bedroom for one person is not grounds for 'bedroom tax'.

i'm not paying bedroom tax
i'm paying council tax. i never said anything about bedroom tax, other than that it'd make it hard for me to move house as one-bedroomed places are now in short supply.

Well, council tax is a start, eh?
Next step- breaking through the £9,440 earnings threshold to start paying income tax like the rest of the grownups do.

Fingers crossed!

You're right Dr, taxpayers do indeed take out of the system and unless you earn an awful lot, then most people come out with a negative contribution.
Nice to see you're keeping your head here and displaying some adult dignity.
