Council Tax
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to reform council tax.
- Answer
-
My Lords, council tax is collected and retained by local authorities, which set it within the national framework. Local authorities
best understand the needs of their local area, though any increases above the referendum principles require the support of voters. Council tax is well understood by ratepayers. The Government have no plans for council tax reform, which would be complex and time-consuming to undertake and would create confusion for ratepayers.
