In reply to Steve's earlier point I doubt there is anyone who believes that it is right that the owner of a £350,000 house pays the same council tax as a £40m one, although I doubt theee are few £40m houses even in London! Council tax bands should be updated to reflect current values not those of 1991 rather than a levy of houses over £2m. Where's the fairness in that, a £2m householder pays nothing yet a £2.5m owner pays £5k a year? With respect to NI payments a 1% rise for higher earners wouldn't by definition affect those on low or middle income. |
