▤ Verbatim text from source document

We are seeking views on the administration of council tax including:

  • changing the ways council tax is billed, collected and enforced
  • modernising the support available in the system
  • supporting councils to improve efficiency

Taken together, these changes aim to create a fairer and more efficient system for taxpayers and local authorities.

The consultation contains firm policy proposals to improve the system and call for evidence questions to inform future policy.
