Rachel Reeves proposed council tax shake-up that could cost millions £1,200 a year
The TelegraphRachel Reeves advocated an overhaul of council tax bands, a move that could cost more than four million households an average of £1,200 a year, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose. But a council tax revaluation, which has also been previously advocated by Jim McMahon, now Sir Keir Starmer’s shadow local government minister, would be likely to result in tax increases for millions of households. Asked if the party would rule out a council tax revaluation, in a similar vein to Ms Reeves’s pledge not to introduce a wealth tax, a Labour spokesman simply said that it “has no plans to introduce this in government”. It’s a denial.” A council tax band revaluation is under way in Wales, where the Welsh Labour government says it wants to correct the current situation under which “a higher share of tax is charged relatively to households living in lower value properties.” David TC Davies, the Welsh Secretary, has said it would cause “astronomical” council tax hikes for his constituents in Monmouthshire.
