Does the TV tax actually go to the BBC? Or is it just thrown in the tax pot and then pissed up a wall by the Tories?
It goes entirely to the BBC and a few other entities like Freeview and Freesat.

It covers everything that the BBC does, from radio, TV, through to World Service, online, etc.
None of that revenue goes to the govt, it's a separate thing from other taxation precisely to prevent govts from touching that pot of money.
