Increase the Council Tax band values for England to acceptable & relevant levels
Council Tax valuations are based on the value of properties.
The value is the price the property would have sold for on the open market on 1 April 1991 in England and 1 April 2003 in Wales. Properties were put into a band based on their value on those dates.
Current Council Tax bands in England (1 April 1991 values)
Band / Value
A up to £40,000
B £40,001 to £52,000
C £52,001 to £68,000
D £68,001 to £88,000
E £88,001 to £120,000
F £120,001 to £160,000
G £160,001 to £320,000
H more than £320,000

The bands were set in 1991 when house prices were 1/4 of today's value. Anyone moving house today unfairly falls in to band F,G or H and pays between £2400-£3600 in Tax. The Values/Band should now be quadrupled in line with house prices.
