Councils accused of tax abuse

摘要

The Federation of Master Builders has demanded a meeting with housing minister John Healey to complain about local authorities that are levying council tax on homes before they are finished, writes Sophie Griffiths.rnBrian Berry, director of external affairs at the FMB, said: "At a time when small housebuilders are suffering their worst recession in decades, an extra tax on properties that can't be sold is the last thing that is needed."
