The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 24th February 2021:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of whether current council tax bands in England adequately reflect changes to property prices since 1991.
Lord Greenhalgh (Con, DHCLG): Council tax bands in England reflect the sale value of properties at 1 April 1991 and provide a proxy for relative ability to pay. This banding system is well understood and provides a stable income stream to local authorities and predictable annual bills for taxpayers.
