Support overhaul of council tax
Do you support an overhaul of the current Council Tax system?
Green Party The Green Party would reform Council Tax so that owners of expensive homes would pay more and those living in cheaper houses would pay less. They would introduce a new band at the top of the scale for those with the largest houses, which the party claim would raise £1.7bn. The party also favour moving to a new system of Land Value Tax, where the level of tax would depend on the rental value of the land concerned. Source: Green Party Manifesto
Plaid Cymru Plaid believes that we should abolish the unfair and outdated council tax system and introduce a local income tax. A local income tax would be based on the ability to pay, not on the value of property. It would be fairer and more efficient. Source: Plaid Party policy.
SNP The SNP announced a commission to investigate alternatives to the current council tax, a revenue that the party has long been keen to replace. They advocated replacing it with a 'local income tax' in 2007, although it did not get enough support. Source: BBC, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-30215510
