The Chief Minister has defended a decision to increase the controversial 'toilet tax' saying people are 'missing the point'.
Earlier this month Tynwald voted in favour of a six pence rise - it means the rate will be 98 pence in the pound from April.
The decision angered both the public and Tynwald Members with many describing it as a 'stealth tax' - however Howard Quayle has refuted those claims:
£300,000 is expected to be generated from the increase - Mr Quayle says he recognises it's not what most people want but says there is no choice:
Jurby puts rates up
Alcohol taxes rise
New water levels boost lake wildlife
Colder than average start to the year
What powers does government have for running tips?
First of retained firefighter recruiting events tonight
Port Erin announces rates rise
Nearly 200 work visas issued over three months
