Council tax bills in England to rise by 4 per cent
The Department for Communitites and Local Government (DCLG) said that the average household council tax bill in England would rise from £1,101 to £1,146, the government say these are the lowest increases in the last 14 years.
The government told councils that they should keep any increase below 5 per cent last year but the chairman of The DCLG said this would be a tough task; “Councils have been under a real financial squeeze during the annual struggle to keep bills down.”
“The stark reality is that low council tax rises have come at a cost and many councils have had to make tough decisions on spending.”
This is yet more bad news for people struggling to keep up with family finances. The cost of living in the UK is getting ridiculous it seems as though everywhere you turn prices are going up; fuel, energy, food, and now perhaps the worst type of price increase to swallow; a tax increase.
