Council tax bills ‘set to soar’ after Jeremy Hunt’s new Budget announcement

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

British households will likely be forced to fork out more money for higher council tax bills.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is expected to announce an increase to council tax rates when he reveals his autumn Budget on Thursday.

Town halls currently have to hold a referendum if they want to increase council tax by more than 2.99%.

But Mr Hunt is reportedly planning to do away with this rule, paving the way for bigger hikes.
