Got my council tax bill for the year. £2,952.34 for a band E or more than 10% of a pre-tax min wage persons salary.
But wait if I lived in Westminster that would be £1,243.22. Which is less than half, but I guess the house price is 10x more.
We need to reform council tax!
@chrysso_g @MrDeltaHotelUK @MartinSLewis You don’t have to move. You just have to not moan when obviously unfair tax systems are made fairer. We all have choices. Yours is simple stay and pay or sell and move.
@chrysso_g @MrDeltaHotelUK @MartinSLewis You have inherited a nice house… if you can’t afford to pay for the up keep sell it. Millions of family’s across the UK have to do this went rent goes up or they lose their jobs. You don’t have a right to live somewhere forever.
@anthonyboutall News flash if 1 person earns lots of money and 99 people earn little money. “Top 1% pay all the tax. “
We need to tax to redistribute wealth that will make the system fairer! Lots of wealth should belong to the people not individuals.
@PJTheEconomist How much would we raise by merging national insurance and income tax. Essentially making working age pensioners pay the tax? It would also make it simpler for the avg tax payer….
