Kir Stamor Between the warnings, the UK finance is handed over bills to pay for black holes Largest increase in local taxation In two decades.
The Prime Minister told reporters on a visit G7 Summit in Canada It is up to the councils. If they want to fully charge an increase of 5 percent, they have exposed a series of taxes on a large scale amid concerns.
Last week’s expenditure review councils resulted in an increase of up to 5 percent in the council tax, while the police are given powers to use the same increase in their predecessor to raise additional funds. The Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS)) The council has already warned of the biggest increase in tax for two decades.
After both Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rener and Home Secretary Yvet Cooper, this line leads the holdout in Treasury talks on review of spending.
There was a possibility that despite additional demands and the Ministry of Housing, communities and local government (MHCLG) and house office would be forced to bear the cuts.
Now funding hole council is open to be filled through tax, when voters refracted labor out of the County Council in favor of the UK.
While Sir Kir and Chancellor Rachel Reeves vowed not to increase taxes on “working people”, this was limited to income tax, employee national insurance contribution and VAT, not local taxation.
The move is reminiscent of the strategy used by Tony Blair in the previous Labor Government as they were held back when income tax increased, but the council tax was allowed to increase a huge double figure.
This was challenged on the Canadian flight, Sir Kir said: “The first thing is that the Council Tax Rise is obviously to decide for the councils, the year -door, which they do.
“We spent the best part of the first year, which was broken but everything was broken in relation to our broken economy, but everything was broken, I could go to the rest of this journey, linging the things that were broken.
“No one really argues with it, they can say that it is not your job to get and fix it, but no one argues that it is broken. The year one was cleaning that dirt, stabilizing the economy and creating conditions to review the expenses. The expenditure review now allows us to show what a labor government differences.”
He also indicated that he now believes that there is a “stunning” approach to the government.
He said: “What review of the expenditure shows that due to the decisions we have made, now you can see what the government makes a difference. And it is a lot of ‘stearite’. If you want, in those stages, I opposed through elections. The first job is to clean, clean and then move from there.
A spokesperson for the Housing, communities and local government, Vicky Slade said: “The local government budget has been extended to the braking point, the former Conservative government failed to fix the crisis in social care and at least minimum.
“It is deeply inappropriate to ask the local government to pass the deer and to reduce the burden of bills to the hard-pired families to reduce the burden of bills. Instead, the government should come forward with a proper plan to eliminate the crises in social care and send provisions, which are pushing close to collapse to the councils, and are becoming serious about kickstarts to secure economic growth to protect the councils.”
A spokesperson of the local government association, who represents the councils across England, said: “All the councils remain under serious financial pressure. Many people will continue to increase the bill to try and save the bill for security, but still need to be deducted.
“Council tax is not a solution to meet long-term pressures facing high-deserving national services. The increase in up to 5 percent will be a significant burden on families. In addition, the growing council taxes in different parts of the country, raising various amounts of money in different parts of the country, which is not related to needs.”
