up the royal arms there used to be a bus stand that was spray painted NO POLL TAX MAGGIE STINKS always stuck in my mind from being a youngin... probs not there anymore... this might sounds daft but is council tax just a front to what used to be poll tax
Well I never knew the Peterlee lot were the only ones able to answer a question on Poll tax and council tax.
On the individual it is. On the family unit it is not. I pay more per head for council services than a family of three living in a house in a higher band.
The tax is on the property though, using the three individuals is a moot point and irrelevant as it's not a personal tax. They do, based on the value of the property. Are you saying every individual should pay the same amount?
It’s still regressive though. A family with a combined income of £22,000 pays more proportionally than a family with a combined income of £44,000. Other than actual income tax, all other taxes are regressive
