In response to Francis Tonks's article about people not paying their council tax (The Argus, March 25), I think he has a cheek to say the charge is being passed on to people who do pay on time.

Why should it put a burden on those who do so?

If you were selling a product for which some people paid and others did not, would you put the price up to those who paid for your product to make up for those who did not?

If so, I doubt you would be in business very long, so why put the onus on the rest of us?
