Petition Action

Review council tax as it is no longer affordable to a number of families.

Petition Details

Reduce council tax for low level paid house holds and smaller basic houses e.g. Two to Three Bedroom homes. The level of council tax is no longer affordable to many of the working class on a basic wage and it is completely unjust that people on low wages are expected to pay such high amounts.

Additional Information

The council tax system is unfair and significantly biased towards the wealthy whilst hammering the poorer in society.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Council tax rates are set by individual councils.

You could start a petition calling for a rebanding of houses to allow more variation of rates, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
