Margaret thatcher introduction the poll tax in 198.
poll tax.
The move was championed by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher herself. None of her ministers dared to disagree with her.
Margaret Thatcher made a new tax called (poll tax ). because Britain didn't have much money at the time. families had to pay more money if the had more children or people living in the same apartment . lots of families didn't like poll tax.
I believe that Thatcher made many mistakes in her time as Prime Minister but the biggest one in my opinion was the poll tax. Making rich people who had a lot more pay the same amount of tax as poor people.
With the government eliminating poll taxes, it allowed many more to be able to vote.
Depends. In the UK, a poll tax is a tax that affected everyone equally, regardless of wealth or property. Such taxes have existed previously in historical times. More famously, Margaret Thatcher's introduction of the Community Charge in 1990 (a flat-out tax rate to fund local government) was dubbed the "poll tax". It proved widely unpopular, caused protests and riots and eventually led to her downfall. In the US, a poll tax is a tax people are required to pay in order for them to be able to vote. Most ex-Confederate states introduced this tax during the Reconstruction to deliberately stop Black people from being able to vote, since they were generally too poor to pay it. They also added loopholes so that poor White people could still register. The poll tax was abolished nationwide by the 24th Amendment in 1964.
Oh, dude, Margaret Thatcher? She was like the Iron Lady, right? Well, some folks say she was a bit controversial. Like, she made some tough decisions that not everyone agreed with, you know? But hey, that's politics for you.

In the constitution, Tax on voters is called Poll tax
A Poll tax is a direct tax. A poll tax, head tax, or capitation is a tax of a uniform, fixed amount per individual (as opposed to a percentage of income).
A fixed tax to be paid before a person could vote was and is called a poll tax. Because it is a fixed amount per person, it could also be called a Head Tax.
