A new report suggests that the Labour Party's proposals could result in a significant increase in council tax, with projections indicating a 43% rise by 2030. According to figures obtained by The Daily Telegraph, this would amount to an additional £58.8 billion in revenue by that year, translating to an average increase of £500 per household.
The Ministry of Housing, Local Government and Communities did not provide a comment when approached by the newspaper regarding these figures. The reports detail that the national council tax take is expected to climb substantially in the coming years under these projected policies.
