Council tax revaluation - Wales shafted

Options
Horray they have shelved the idea in England as it will cost to much. What about blooming Wales :( We were revalued last year with a third moved up at least one valuation band and 8% moving down.

I haven't met anyone yet who was in the 8% but most of my family, friends and work colleagues were in the 1/3 moving up 1 or 2 bands.

Nice to know that Mr B used Wales as an experiment :T not!

    According to a BBC article its only a delay thats to be discussed by the cabinet :confused:
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    BBC Council tax


    Yeah right they are really going to introduce it in England. By the time they have investigated further it'll be time for another General Election. A nice rise in Council tax will win them votes - I don't think so.

    Have you got any stats links on the numbers who went up and down in Wales Poppy?

    I went up one band - result 33% rise in council tax this year.

    Although I'm not in Wales I do agree that it is not fair.

    I agree it's not fair (and Wales was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news), but on the selfish side, am glad that they are delaying it in England ;) how much else is going to be delayed until after the general election?!
