Thanks @Zoe4Hackney for taking time today to listen to our concerns about the impact of "localisation" of #CouncilTaxSupport. These figures show many of #Hackney's poorest residents in arrears are unfairly hit by a court summons, extra "costs" + bailiffs. #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay
Really impressed by @TrussellTrust's new report showing how poverty + destitution are worsened by debts to Govt including Council Tax. This is the real-world impact of local council policies post-2013 to start charging those who are disabled or out of work. #2poor2pay #NoPollTax2
🧵 Did you know that nearly half of people referred to food banks in our network are in debt to the government?
We’ve been working closely with people who have experience of being in #Debt to the government - here’s four things we learnt. 👇
Huge thanks to everyone who has made this happen, especially @GreenPartyScott who has consistently raised concerns about impact of these charges on Lambeth's poorest residents + use of #bailiffs against those in arrears. #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay @taxpayers_a_p @CPAGUK @LCPAlliance
Fantastic to see this recommendation to reinstate 100% #CouncilTaxSupport for unemployed residents going to @lambeth_council's Cabinet meeting this evening. If agreed, Lambeth will become the 12th London Borough not to charge its poorest residents. #2poor2pay #NoPollTax2

Massively disappointing to see @yourcroydon doubling down on the cuts to #CouncilTaxSupport for its poorest unemployed residents it consulted on + now propose to make them pay up to 25% Council Tax. Really hope cllrs will think again about these awful plans #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay
Lots of pressure on local authority budgets as a result of cuts + Covid, so great to see @cllr_alambritis @cllrallison + co. proposing to retain 100% Council Tax Support for #Merton's disabled & unemployed residents. Hope other Boroughs follow this example #2poor2pay #NoPollTax2
.@cllrallison wants to assure residents that we're working to protect the poorest in the borough.
Yesterday, our Cabinet agreed Merton should continue
to give financial support to those who've been plunged into poverty because of COVID-19

Great to see @JonCruddas_1 challenging ministers why they still haven't implemented the most important recommendations from their own review of the "localisation" of #CouncilTaxSupport. Essential Govt takes note of impact of this terrible policy #2poor2pay https://t.co/ZaAsp7QLST
Just catching up with the fantastic news that @royal_greenwich councillors unanimously agreed to restore 100% Council Tax Support for poorest residents. Well done @DanLThorpe @MattHartley100 @GriceChristine for driving this through. Great example of cross-party working #2poor2pay
Now here's plans to take the poorest residents out of council tax. Finance cabinet member Christine Grice says she has been out with bailiffs and says she can appreciate how some people simply could't afford to pay even their reduced council tax #greenwich
@crimlawuk @AmateurFOI Localisation of council tax support means many people previously deemed #2poor2pay now have to pay council tax
New Blog | Marc writes about @NewhamLondon Mayor @rokhsanafiaz, @terrympaul + councillors in support of their decision to halve #CouncilTaxSupport charges for #disabled + unemployed residents + end use of #bailiffs against poorest claimants: https://t.co/ymugL6bGEW #2poor2pay
Huge honour for @Z2K_trust to be invited to address @NewhamLondon Mayor @rokhsanafiaz + cllrs last night in support of their decision to halve #CouncilTaxSupport charges for disabled + unemployed residents and end use of #bailiffs against poorest claimants #2poor2pay #NoPollTax2
At @NewhamLondon Full Council meeting to set budget. Marc Francis from @Z2K_trust is giving the Newham partner update
Fantastic to hear Mayor @rokhsanafiaz Cllrs @terrympaul @grayee + co now proposing to halve the Min Payment under @NewhamLondon's #CouncilTaxSupport scheme from 20% to 10% from April. Also promising not to use #bailiffs against disabled/unemployed claimants #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay
Great to see cllrs unanimously agree to reinstate 100% #CouncilTaxSupport for #Haringey's poorest families. Hopefully those without children will be helped next year too. A lesson here for cllrs in #Barnet + #Enfield which charge unemployed >20% Council Tax #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay
Raft of tax changes to ease burden on poorest https://t.co/eVosdOjCi0
Thanks to @TheIFS for this excellent new research into the impact of "localising" #CouncilTaxSupport + to @NuffieldFound for funding it. It should be essential reading for ministers + also local cllrs deciding whether to charge poorest disabled + unemployed residents #2poor2pay
New report https://t.co/iY8UMHvRxx
Localisation & cuts to council tax support mean extra 1.4m households now have to pay some council tax . First time since Poll Tax many of poorest have to pay some local tax.
Arrears have risen and quarter of extra tax due not collected,
Great to see @CommonsJustice begin this new inquiry into #bailiffs with evidence from @joeAlane @StepChange @JoannaElson . In London alone, those boroughs now charging unemployed + disabled residents Council Tax have instructed bailiffs against more than 85,000 of them #2poor2pay
Today we will be taking oral evidence to our new inquiry into bailiffs and the enforcement of debt. Watch live from 1000 here https://t.co/VDn4TTfSax
Just catching up with this encouraging news that @Jas_Athwal + @KamRai7 have decided against making #UniversalCredit-style cuts to #Redbridge's #CouncilTaxSupport scheme so won't be using #TwoChildLimit for families or #MinimumIncomeFloor for self-employed claimants #2poor2pay
Great to see @Gareth_Roberts_ @robinwbrown + co. proposing to reinstate 100% #CouncilTaxSupport for #Richmond's disabled + unemployed residents #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay
Good luck to our founder @taxpayers_a_p in his attempt tonight to persuade @haringeycouncil's Cabinet to build on their positive decision to reinstate 100% Council Tax Support for families by agreeing to end its pernicious use of bailiffs against claimants #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay
A welcome change - read our latest blog on @haringeycouncil's plans to reinstate Council Tax Support for low income families https://t.co/aegSKJAOv7
Good to see @CommonsCLG Chair, Clive Betts MP challenging ministers over their failure to implement independent review's recommendation to examine impact of the "localisation" of Council Tax Benefit #NoPollTax2 #2poor2pay
Brilliant work by the team @EastEnd_CAB Our bet is that a fair chunk of this will have been helping disabled/unemployed residents in arrears with Council Tax and maybe even facing enforcement action by #bailiffs. A return to national system of CT Benefit is essential #2poor2pay
Last year in 2017/18 @EastEnd_CAB we helped 42,000 people with 44,000 issues in Hackney, Tower Hamlets & Newham, helping people increase their incomes by £18.7 million, rescheduling and writing off debts of £14 million #CABlive
