HL Deb 05 February 2003 vol 644 c40WA
Lord Smith of Leigh

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How the revaluation of council tax will impact on the amount paid by council tax payers in different tax bands by region. [HL1393]

Lord Evans of Temple Guiting

Subject to parliamentary approval of the current Local Government Bill, council tax revaluation in England will be in 2007, using 2005 data on property values. The impact of the revaluation will therefore depend on future property values as well as on decisions yet to be taken on, for example, the structure of bands.
