It turns out one side-effect of the Scottish referendum is that there were people who had avoided paying a Poll tax brought in in 1989 and removed in 1994 by not registering to vote.
In order to be eligible to vote in the recent Referendum, one had to be registered.
This resulted in the government being able to identify as much as 300 million pounds in back-taxes being able to be traced.
Way to go to annoy the Scots further!
It's a bit like tricking people with excessive speeding fines into turning up by telling them they'd won a car, only to find they've been had.
