 If YOU have been outraged by the year on year relentless inflation-busting increases in Council Tax, then this is YOUR CAMPAIGN.   The Government have stated that they will retain the present system of Council Tax based on property value.  The Conservatives have indicated that they consider property value to be a fair basis for Council Tax.  The Liberal Democrats propose replacing Council Tax with Local Income Tax.    .........

A few FACTS about Council Tax:

• Council Tax is based on the value of your property - it bears no relationship to your income from which you have to pay the tax.
• Council Tax has more than DOUBLED since 1995. Over the same period basic State pension has risen by 38%, average earnings have risen by 50%.
• Council Tax is a regressive tax - the less income you have, the higher the percentage of your income you have to pay in Council Tax.
• Council Tax is now far higher than Income Tax for many people.
• Council Tax is taking a higher percentage of many people's income every year - because Council Tax rises have outstripped any increase in the income of most pensioners and low paid workers.
• Council Tax is a stealth tax - it has been manipulated by Government.

If YOU feel strongly about this grossly unfair system of taxation you should join the IsItfair™ Campaign - it will cost you nothing, it may save you a lot!

Council Tax must be scrapped - taxation to pay for local services should be related to everyone's income. The services are used by the people, not by the properties.
