Suspend council tax payments as part of emergency legislation due to coronavirus

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to suspend council tax payments because people with low paid jobs or self-employed won’t be able to afford it with the on going coronavirus problem.

Help me to support this petition and make it reach parliament.

The government has already put emergency legislation down for holiday payments on rent and mortgage, so they need to do the same for council tax.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
