Mr. Ralph Howell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of gross income is paid in community charge by persons earning(a) £5,000 per year, (b) £10,000 per year and (c) £20,000 per year when the community charge is (i) £300, (ii) £400 and (iii) £500.

The amount paid in community charge would vary depending on entitlement to community charge benefit. The level of benefit applicable in each case would depend on the family and financial circumstances of the individual involved.
