As bossman said
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.
Which has been the reason it's survived despite the Tories' best attempts to destroy it. The negative is that it hits the poorest massively disproportionately as everyone pays the flat fee.

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?
