I am trying to get at what would apply if a specific water tax were introduced, as opposed to water charges, and it was guaranteed to be ring-fenced for the funding of provision of water. Is there an economic objection to that sort of a proposal? Is it similar to the economic objection for introducing hypothecation into general taxation?
