SIR - The Resolution Foundation has rightly called on radical reforms to the council tax system.
It has long been clear that council tax is no longer fit for purpose. What was meant to be a temporary replacement for the disastrous poll tax has itself become so deeply unpopular and seen to be unfair, that it can no longer be used for increasing the revenue base of local government.
Not only is council tax regressive in relation to income, but it is also based on property values almost three decades out of date. It is time for reform.
