THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST COUNCIL TAX
Message from the IsItFair Campaign
The IsItFair campaign is Nationwide, Non-Party Political and is
for everyone (not only pensioners) who wants the existing
system of Council Tax abolished.
If you have been outraged by the relentless, year on year,
inflation-busting increases in Council Tax, then this is YOUR
campaign. Please support it in whatever way you can.
The average rise for 2003/2004 was 12.9 per cent and was a direct
result of central Government action. It is set to continue.
Government is using the council tax system as a stealth tax.
Grants have been redistributed away from many areas. At the same
time, Government has dictated that spending in these same areas is
significantly increased. On average, the cost of council tax has
increased by up to 70% since 1997. The forecasts for next year's
rises are already being reported at 10%. Central Government blames
the local county councils for all the extortionate rises. Do not
believe this. Check with your own county council and you will
discover the truth.
