Cap monthly Council Tax payments to no more than 8% of net income

Petition Details

The Government should pass legislation stating that council tax cannot exceed more than 8% of a household's income (take home pay or pension) on council tax.

Additional Information

Council tax is linked to house size and not income. Annual increases to council tax also mean that for people whose wages rise at a lower rate than council tax, they are paying an increased proportion of their income on council tax.

The Government should take action to ensure that lower income earners are not required to pay an unreasonable percentage of income into it.
