Climb Down on Council Tax Revaluation in England highlights Council Tax Failure
October 4, 2005 7:00 PM
Axe the Council Tax!
An announcement was made last week that the re-setting of council tax bands in England, the first for 14 years, will be postponed as the government fights shy of a middle-class backlash from homeowners in London and the south-east.
In a statement, Dundee Liberal Democrats said today (4th October 2005) -
"The Council tax is in a desperate mess, and cancelling revaluation in England does nothing but reinforce this fact. By opting out of meaningful reform, the Government is letting down the millions of pensioners and low paid workers who struggle month after month to pay their council tax bills. Revaluation or no revaluation, council tax is Britain's most unfair tax, and it must be abolished. It's time to scrap council tax and introduce a fair local income tax based on the ability to pay."
