Council tax payments have greater than tripled to £2,000 for the reason that cost was first launched 30 years in the past, analysis discovered.

The payment for a median band D house has gone up by 79 p.c, in keeping with the Taxpayers’ Alliance.

It discovered 244 councils, greater than half, have by no means decreased their stage of council tax.

John O’Connell, TPA chief govt, stated: "Households in each nook of the nation are being hammered by increased charges 12 months after 12 months.

“Three decades since its introduction, the relentless climb of council tax shows no sign of reaching its peak."

“Only by cutting wasteful spending and binning pointless pet projects can town hall bosses bear down on the council tax burden.”

An common band D invoice when council tax was launched in 1993 was £568 however has now hit £2,065.

Nottingham elevated its council tax in money phrases greater than some other English native authority since 1993, from £630 to £2,412, in keeping with the TPA.

Wandsworth elevated its payments much less in actual phrases than anyplace else at only one p.c.

A spokesman for the Local Government Association stated: “In recent years, the Government has relied on council tax raising powers to increase councils’ core spending power."

“Faced with the increased cost of providing local services and rising demand for support, councils have faced the tough choice about whether to increase bills to bring in desperately needed funding to protect services at the same time as being acutely aware of the significant burden that could place on some households."

“While council tax is an important funding stream, it is not the solution to the long-term pressures facing councils. Councils want to work with government on a long-term funding plan which ensures they have adequate resources, certainty and freedoms to deliver local services.”
