A Fairer Council Tax

We are seeking views on:

• completing a Council Tax revaluation of all 1.5 million properties in Wales to rebalance the system to reflect property values. The current system is now nearly 20 years out of date
• designing a new system of bands and tax rates that is more progressive, including considering adding more bands to the top and bottom ends of the scale if needed
• revaluing more frequently to keep Council Tax fairly distributed on a more regular basis.
• improving the framework of discounts, disregarded persons, exemptions and premiums to ensure the arrangements are aligned to our goals
• improving the Council Tax Reduction Scheme which provides support to low-income households
