Rural council tax to rise by £380 under Rayner plan

  • Council tax bills for rural households may rise by £376 to £380 over four years due to a proposal by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner.
  • The proposal aims to shift resources from rural areas to urban areas through a new local government finance formula.
  • Rural authorities will need to raise council tax by 5 percent annually for three years to address funding shortfalls, according to the CCN's analysis.
  • Mr. Oliver warned that these reforms would unfairly penalize councils in rural counties that can raise more council tax.
