Council tax is a flat rate tax that means nothing to the rich and allot to the poor and it has no place in a modern society. The real issue here is the disgrace of an overcomplicated tax system we have in place that puts taxes on taxes on taxes. There are plenty of pressure groups seeking tax reform, and while there is some awareness it is moving so blooming slow, while real people are suffering on the ground.
But then that is the way of old blighty
Council tax is a banded form of taxation based on property values, it is not a flat rate tax.
