Axe the Tax
Thu, 04 Sep 2008Council tax is now the most unpopular tax in Britain today - because it's the most unfair tax. Worse still, council tax, as part of a system of local government finance, was described by the Audit Commission as "fundamentally flawed".
Pensioners in particular suffer when the council tax rises faster than their pensions - and it happens year after year.
We want to see the council tax - introduced by the Conservatives and supported by Labour - scrapped and replaced with a local form of income tax, set by councils, that would be based on people's ability to pay rather than the size of their house.
