Commenting on new Government figures that show nearly £600m of Council Tax went unpaid last year, Liberal Democrat Local Government Spokesperson, Sarah Teather MP said:
"Council Tax is a bureaucratic nightmare to collect so it's no wonder so much goes unpaid.
"Every family in England could have £30 back if everybody paid their Council Tax. However lots of people don't pay because they simply don't have the money.
"A fair Local Income Tax would be simple and cheap to collect, and wouldn't leave people impoverished by local taxes
