INET Oxford Working Papers from Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford

Abstract: Since the FT piece appeared on 1 September 2025, see expanded version, many questions have been raised. It is inevitable that a column restricted to under 650 words leaves out helpful explanation. This Q & A aims to clarify the policy - which proposes to reform Council Tax for the top two valuation bands - and address any questions or misunderstandings found in the commentary to the FT piece.
