Is this new Council Tax idea really fair?

19/03/2007

What do readers think in respect of reviewing properties to reassess Council Tax Bands?

 

Those of us who have spent money investing in their property - no doubt being Environmentally Green in taking less holidays too - could end up paying more in Council tax than their neighbour who has the identical property (minus a conservatory).

 

They may well be financially better off than you, but YOU pay more! How can this be a fair way to assess? Surely to assess either the size of individual sites, regardless of what is on them, would be fairer?  Any site over a prescribed size would be classified differently with a further classification of large manor houses etc who got away with paying their fair share the last time round!
