   Non-British people might not know that for 50+ years, individuals
   owning televisions have been required to pay a tax.

   gdom
   "In the United Kingdom and the [4]Crown Dependencies, any household
   watching or recording live television transmissions as they are being
   broadcast (terrestrial, satellite, cable, or internet) is required to
   hold a[5]television licence. Businesses, hospitals, schools and a range
   of other organisations are also required to hold television licences to
   watch and record live TV broadcasts.^[6][1] Since 1 April 2010 the
   annual licence fee has been £145.50 for colour and £49.00 for black and
   white.^[7][2]^[8][3]^[9][4] Income from the licence is primarily used
   to fund the television, radio and online services of the [10]BBC. The
   total income from licence fees was £3.735 billion in 2014–15^[11][5] of
   which £613.4 million or 16.4% was provided by the Government through
   concessions for those over the age of 75. Thus, the licence fee made up
   the bulk of the BBC's total income of £4.805 billion in 2014–2015."
   No doubt the British people have developed ever-more sophisticated ways
   to evade those taxes!
