I have thought for some time that the council tax needs a review, my house 2450 a year with a house value of approx 300k, million pound house down the road 5k a year, council tax and then you get much more expensive properties still paying the 5k as that is the highest band they do.
I can see current govt seeing this as a great way to get more tax income, and of course outbuildings will come into this somehow!

Size of the house or how many sheds shouldn’t dictate the amount of council tax is due. The amount of resources that household users should be the deciding factor i.e. many houses around here extended to the max with brothers, sisters, spouses and kids living under one roof using many more resources than their neighbour with just husband and wife.
Taxing on the value of the house could be the straw that breaks the back for some people struggling to maintain a roof over their heads.
That sounds remarkably like the Poll Tax, and that didn't go down very well at all.......

Shed users tend to be retired….and they cant tax the working man. So where does that leave a working girl with a shed.I don't understand, they promote 'men in sheds' saying it can help male mental health, then they decide they may tax sheds.

It sounds more like taxing spare rooms than sheds to be fair. Sleeping space, kitchens and toilets are mentioned extensively. I have none of them in my shed because...it's a shed.
It is mad though that the owner of a multi million pound house pays the same as someone with a £300k house because the bands don't go any higher!

Never understood why a little old lady living in a big house should pay more than seven people living in a smaller house, she uses less of everything a conciliar provides.The councils and the people they serve would be a lot better of if they cut the flannel, sacked all the chair polishers and concentrated on staffing essential services like they did forty years ago.
