The map on the left shades constituencies by % of top council tax band properties (Band H in England, Band H and I in Wales)
The map on the right shades by median house prices.
Very different maps. That's the problem with council tax.

Big news, income tax is being charged this year.
(It has to be renewed each year or it ceases to apply. Because it's a temporary tax, introduced to fund the Napoleonic wars)

Our tax calculator is now updated for the Budget: taxpolicy.org.uk/wp-content/a...
You'll see no change in the tax you pay in 2026/27 unless you're a landlord or receive interest/dividend income.

People often ask me "why can't tax avoidance be made illegal"?
It's a good question. I recently tried quite hard to make one of the worst kinds of tax avoidance illegal. I think I got it wrong.

Tax advice in the UK is an unregulated Wild West.
The biggest losers aren’t billionaires — it’s ordinary small businesses sold shiny “avoidance” that blows up.
When HMRC catches it, clients face huge bills. When HMRC doesn’t, the rest of us foot the cost. 🧵
