WHAT DOES COUNCIL TAX MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Council Tax

Council Tax is the system of local taxation used in England, Scotland and Wales to part fund the services provided by local government in each country. It was introduced in 1993 by the Local Government Finance Act 1992, as a successor to the unpopular Community Charge, which briefly replaced the older system of domestic rates; these changes were never applied to Northern Ireland, which continues to use a system of domestic rates. The basis for the tax is residential property, with discounts for single occupants. As of 2011, the average annual levy on a property in England was £1,196.
