Tax Justice Scotland commissioned polling by YouGov which uncovered widespread public backing for urgent action. More than half of Scots (56%) support political party commitment to reforming Council Tax during the next Holyrood parliament, while just 11% oppose this. The polling comes more than a decade after the cross-party Commission on Local Tax Reform concluded that “the present Council Tax system must end” and as the Scottish Government’s consultation on Council Tax reform draws to a close. Laurie Macfarlane, co-director of Future Economy Scotland and member of Tax Justice Scotland, said: “Council Tax is wildly out of date, deeply unfair and locks in inequality. Tax Justice Scotland says the disparities between and within local authorities makes the case for a modern, nationwide revaluation impossible to ignore.
