Somewhat tangentially related to that comment, I did always wonder why every local authority seemingly commissioned its own IT solution for managing council tax. Given that the way it's managed and collected is probably near identical throughout the country, this would be a perfect situation for a standard open source solution. Every council could have it and tweak it to add any extra feature they needed. The savings would be enormous.
