PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Council Tax: Probate (11 September 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of holding a consultation on the potential merits of removing the council tax exemption for homes in probate in the context of the Welsh Government’s consultation on that matter.

Asked by:
David Simmonds (Conservative)

Council tax is a devolved policy issue, the devolved governments therefore take decisions on council tax policy independent of central government. The Government does not currently have any plans to reform council tax in England.
