Petition Action

Abolish Council Tax

Additional Information

The UK Government is hereby called upon to abolish Council Tax. This tax is based upon the redundant Rates system and the discredited, loathed Poll Tax.

Council Tax is unfair. It is based solely on property value, not ability to pay. The assumption that all persons living in the same band have identical incomes is a fallicy.

The Coalition Government is urged to usher in a local tax, based entirely on ability to pay.

Feasibility studies into alternative means of raising revenue for local government, other than through householders, also needs to be pursued by this Government.
