Citizens must get fair notice of new taxes

I was impressed by Angela Morris (Letters, March 3) on the basis that the household charge is unconstitutional, being in breach of the principles of social justice.

It reminds me of the dilemma I faced when I first learned last October of the NPPR charge, 41 months after it came into force and was faced with a bill of €1,500.

I had no knowledge of my liability for this tax until arriving home and learned by chance of its existence.
