Razor Syntax Dynamically Name HTML Elements

I have a form that creates a number of checkbox elements using Razor code like this

   foreach (var tag in Model.Tags)
    {
        <input type="checkbox" id="@tag.ID" name="@tag.ID" value="@tag.TagName"/>@tag.TagName<br /
    }

This works but I want the ID's and names to be in this format chkTag[TagID] I've tried this

<input type="checkbox" id="chkTag@tag.ID" name="chkTag@tag.ID" value="@tag.TagName"/>

but Razor just treats the whole thing as string and names them chkTag@tag.ID.

So I guess my question is how do I add the dynamic razor ID to the end of my Name and ID's?

Thanks

@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Tags.Count(); i++)
{

        @Html.CheckBoxFor(model => Model.Tags[i])

}

This should do it normally. It will automatically give the correct name.
