It is suggested that up to half of people on low incomes will refuse to
pay council tax after being caught in the net by benefit changes next year. Under
the coalition’s plans to reduce council tax benefits 2m low-income workers will
face an average bill of £247 a year – a charge they are currently exempt from. A
study found that many councils were resigned to seeing large numbers of
residents refusing to pay the tax. These
are people on the lowest incomes. How can councils try to extract taxes
from people who just do not have the money to pay?
