Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

The trick with the Government’s claim that revaluation will be revenue neutral is that nationally, it probably will be revenue neutral, but it will be to the disadvantage of my hon. Friend’s constituents and to the advantage of those in the north because of the way in which the ability to pay assessment uses the shift within the banding. She is right. It is another case of the Government hiding the effects and leaving local government to take the blame.
