      You should see the social care bills of some councils, thing is people are living longer due to NHS keeping them alive by all these new drugs etc, that's if you call it living vegetating in a chair for years and been fed by care workers, taken to the toilet, application of dressings for immobility sores and the enormous energy bills for such establishments, it will get worse, probably 25% of income will go on council bills.

    What we need to know is that a Council Tax demand is issued by a 'Body Corporate' (Your Council), and there's no 'contract' between a private person and a corporation in this case. "There is no contract", it's simply a 'demand' for money that is eventually sent directly to the Inland Revenue office and the National Government consolidation fund. We are not told ( no itemised statement of accounts) exactly what the (your) money is being spent on. None payment is NOT a matter of law, it's a private corporation (the council), and therefore can only be dealt with in a "Civil" court. IT IS NOT A CRIMINAL OFFENCE to withhold payment of Council Tax.

    When I worked on my council, we were informed that it is a revineue tax ,and you can be evicted for non payment, as it is an excise tax, but not for rent arrears. We all ways had massive rent arrears in the millions, i think it must be going Down now , as all rent and rates for the new home owners that are immigrants , is payed for out of the government exchequer , as they are unable to work for not speaking English so it is a win win, but not for any one on hard times because their work place went belly up. And not one party want so level up the difference.

  • @grahamparsons3406

    A tax based on a perceived value of a property is utter bollocks. It should be an equal payment by each adult, regardless of income or location. That way, a lone granny in the home she bought decades ago with her husband would pay less than the 15 extended-family members of South Asian descent who live next door.

    • @brianfitzell1664
      @brianfitzell1664 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That was Poll Tax. And people didn’t like it. It was in better proportion to wealth. Thatcher lost her way after its failure.
      Today with so many single occupancy houses (25% discount) and a large economically inactive households, the numbers paying would be a smaller proportion. That would mean much higher rates for those actually paying the full whack.

    • @grahamparsons3406
      @grahamparsons3406 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      .@brianfitzell1664 Actually no. Whilst the DWP runs most State Benefits, using funding from central coffers, Council Tax Reductions are administered by local Councils, also fully funded by Westminster, going via the devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. So any shortfalls are made up, therefore Council Tax levels the councils set are not diminished by payments for those getting reductions. So for each adult, no matter their status, councils get the same income. Community Charge, dubbed the Poll Tax by a body that became the Socialist Workers Party, was to replace the Rates (a notional valuation of a home). Students and the unemployed would pay only 20%. But students and the unemployed somehow got the idea that paying 20% would be more than they already paid as Rates. Riots ensued, and Community Charges were dropped, resorting to the Rates valuation that we still have today. Revaluations occur, always upwards, so the taxed rise annually. I rent my home, but as the value of homes near ours rise with the Housing Bubble, I have to pay more even though I will never benefit from the increasing value of the home I live in.

    In a community in which politicians and councilors can be trusted to act with integrity and to not waste, misappropriate or embezzel funds, council tax is important to pay. Sadly, there are no politicians or councilors who can be trusted. Therefor, council tax needs to be resisted and rejected.

As a representative of the people in their ward they should exhibit the utmost integrity and if they are disqualified from carrying out their duties then they should be expelled from the Council and an election called out to select a new representative. Disclosing the councillors failures should be a matter of public concern and should not be hidden behind GDPR.

They get paid twice once from central government and then again by the people of their county. plus the people are on the hook for any shortfall the police get e.g.: if the police have to replace their vehicles we pick up the bill. as has happened in Devon.
