Require local authorities to waive and refund council tax for 2020/21

Closed 459 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should require local authorities to waive council tax for residential properties for the current financial year, and repay taxes already paid. As the Government has provided relief for business rates, residents should also see their financial burden reduced.
This will be a big relief for the people who have lost the jobs or are receiving reduced salaries due to reduced business and work opportunities.
