Taxing the rich: a mansion out of a molehill?

摘要

Sir, Anthony Ratcliffe says "it is highly inequitable that a householder in a £320,000 house pays the same as a £3.2m house" (feedback, 16.03.12). I think this needs some clarification. Council tax bands were set at 1991 values. In many areas, house values have trebled - or increased even more in central London.
