Birdwatch Note

2023-04-09 15:31:16 UTC - NOT_MISLEADING

The note currently visible is inaccurate. The tv license is not a tax as the note claims. Taxes in the UK are paid to HMRC. License fee revenue is paid to TV Licensing. While legally mandated, it is a tax as far as legally mandated car insurance is a tax, that is—not at all.
