Petition Introduce a maximum % equivalent to England on the amount a council in Wales can raise Council Tax
Council tax increases can place a financial strain on residents, especially during economic challenges. In Wales, some councils have raised rates significantly, impacting affordability for families and businesses. A cap of 4.99% would ensure fair, controlled increases while still allowing councils to fund essential services. This policy would provide stability, prevent excessive rises, and protect communities from disproportionate financial burdens. We urge the government to implement this cap.
