According to The Sun: This month, significant changes are planned in the council tax system to address the £30 billion deficit in public finances. The Finance Minister is considering reforming the council tax system by introducing new, higher categories, as reported by the Financial Times.
Currently, the council tax is collected by local authorities, and this reform could significantly change the financial situation in the country.
