Reform Council Tax For England to Reflect Occupancy and not Property Value

Petition Details

We petition for council tax reform based on occupancy. We think a higher value property with 2 residents should incur the same council tax as a lower value property with 2 residents, as services like waste collection can remain consistent regardless of the property's value.

Additional Information

The current council tax system charges higher valued properties more, despite what can be equal service usage. We think this is unfair, and we propose a model where council tax is aligned with the number of occupants. We believe this change would better reflect actual service use, promote fairness, and alleviate the financial burden on smaller households occupying larger homes. We urge the Government to consider occupancy-based council tax, which we think will ensure a just system for all.
