Axe the Tax
Axe the Tax - petition handed into Number 10 West Dorset campaigner, Justine McGuinness joined Liberal Democrat Leader Charles Kennedy MP and Local Government Spokesman Edward Davey MP in Westminster to call on the Prime Minster to scrap the Council Tax.
Charles Kennedy MP said:
“Only the Liberal Democrats are campaigning to scrap council tax, and only the Liberal Democrats have a positive alternative. Many people on low and modest incomes would see a tax cut under our plans, which are based on best practice in America and Europe.
“With the Government concluding their review of council finance just after these local elections, people have a real chance to influence that policy and send a clear message to the Government that they want the end of the unfair council tax.”
Justine McGuinness added:
“Whoever I talk to in West Dorset and where-ever I go there is one thing that always comes up - when is the Council Tax going to go! This tax is unfair and needs to change.”
