No, instead we may see the personal tax allowance frozen for longer, so not extra taxes but as pay rises then more people are dragged into paying tax.
It seems like another measure to target the poorer people in society and ket the rich off the hook again. SO, will Starmer do it?

I agree with you, unfortunately for me my council band is through the roof, a higher band than my neighbours yet my neighbours property is bigger, but they have less land, but I don't think that comes into it, just the respective values in 1991. [Post edited 10 Jul 18:32]

Did your neighbour extend and improve their property. Bands are based on property value before improvements, only when a property is sold does it get rebranded and the new owner pays the new band. The tip is buy a rundown detached property and extend and renovate to the hilt. Even if its then worth over £1M you still pay the original band which could be band D. |  | | |

You can appeal that, you may end up paying less and getting a backdated refund.

Mrs contacted them several weeks ago they have only just replied saying 'not enough evidence' , what are the other houses in the street worth they ask ?, but she had already said that we don't live in a street, we live on a lane with just one fairly close neighbour.
So the only comparison we can make is with that one neighbour. |  |

They will take comparisons from a wider area. Ask them what are the area boundaries that they will accept for a comparison. | | | |

You could try putting in your full postcode and it will give the band for all properties in that postcode. Then put your postcode in but omitting the last letter to broaden the search. | | | |

Just wonder why my Personal Allowance as a part time worker with a wage monthiy will be taxed again second time around against my State Pension code .
Sometimes you want to throw the towel in and claim everything .
In my case my appeals will be laughed at , others cleverer than I will thrive . |
At least Farage has said I won’t be taxed on my first 20k.
He does live in a fantasy world mind.
As I said before the last election, with the debt accrued by the last Govt, it will take 10 years to get anywhere near right. |  |

The thing is we need a bit of stability. The Tories were horrendous, reform are basically idiots.
We're in desperate need of a massive political reset. Until then labour seems to be the least worst option, and that's a very, very low bar. We need a sensible alternative and we don't have one. | | | |

We did the appeal against our valuations last year and it was a complete waste of time.
One of my near neighbours has built a house that’s almost identical to ours apart from the fact his garage is slightly bigger whereas our back garden is slightly bigger. We’ve sent pictures of his and other neighbours houses from google earth and all we’ve had is the stock line “ not enough evidence.” If you complain you just get the same stock answer and are fobbed off. 🤬🤬🤬 | | | |

We have had stability in Wales for over 25 years and it's been catastrophic. Stability is only good if we see things gradually improving, currently this is not the case. | | | |

The minimum wage is actually now a bit too high. You can now earn the same emptying bins as you can in a reasonably skilled admin job. Wages at the lower levels have compressed.
In any case, Government expenditure needs to decrease before so much as another penny rises in tax. |  |

I don't know if Labour are the least worst option. As bad as the Tories were, Starmer and co have gone even lower. Hard to imagine even Sunak giving away something we already owned and committing tens of billions of pounds to keep using it. | |

'The putative legal challenge is based on a series of judgements by various United Nations bodies that the Chagos Islands belong to Mauritius.
Essentially, they argued the UK had no legal right to separate the islands from Mauritius before the former British colony became independent in the 1960s.'
So we ignore what the UN says ? Or try to find a way to make it work ? | | | |

Yes, we ignore what the UN said as plenty of countries do every year. The decision was non binding in any case, and even if it hadn't been nobody could have enforced it. | |

All well and good being "moral" about things, but when doing so it obviously acting against your best interests then it falls by the wayside. | |

I've mentioned more than a few times on here and elsewhere that this country needs a complete political overall, the country is desperate for it to happen, to many egotistical rich people thinking that they are capable of being politicians which they clearly are not, Starmer is massively out of his depth, he just keeps lurching from crisis to crisis and backtracking.
Drakeford needs to go as well as does Welsh Labour. | |

The debt is not all the tories, it goes back to Blair and Brown.Until the deficit is under control the debt continues to rise.
This Labour government WILL need 2 and maybe even 3 terms to get the deficit and debt under control, if it's possible by now. For that to happen there has to be a major change and, in my opinion, we'll have to accept more tax rises, an attack on the Welsfare system as well as finding ways to get more money off the rich.
We all have to pay if we're to turn things around. It seems tho, as if the richest in society aren't willing to play their part because they're alright. That's followed by those that give the least to society because they get it all for a song.
That leaves the rest of us and we're not happy with the other 2 groups..
As long as we fight amongst ourselves, we won't fix a thing. | | | |
