OTHER REASONS FOR CHANGE

Very cumbersome and expensive tax to administrate.

A high rate of default, arrears and prosecutions. For instance:-

A recent Child Poverty survey uncovered, over 100,000 low-income Londoners were sent a court summons because they have fallen behind on payments

Over 71,000 council tax support claimants were charged £8.5 million in court costs

Nearly 13,000 cases were referred to the bailiffs.

Some 11 councils set up hardship funds to mitigate the impact of council tax charges.

ALL THIS COULD BE AVOIDED.
