Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m

You mean the stamp duty they abolished for first time buyers for properties under £150k, and the rest of the stamp duty rises were widely announced (unless you mean that being publicised in all the national press and media is the evil Tories sneaky way of hiding things away....).

Do you mean this stealthy council tax revaluation that didn't happen, and hasn't happened since 1993? BBC
Quote:
There will be no revaluation of council tax bands in England during this Parliament, the government has pledged.

It means there will be no rise in local taxes for householders based solely on the increased value of their homes.

Every property in England is in one of eight council tax bands, depending on value, and these were last set in 1993.
btw, you appear to be reaching into the past for examples, when you said in your post when you mentioned stealth taxes

As I asked before, could you provide examples of currently introduced stealth taxes, please?
