Thanks. so thousands of people on benefits will fall foul of this 'tax' then.
they'd have to find the shortfall of money out of their benefits to pay this tax. which will be approx £12 a week on average.

unless they get a smaller house which the council won't have available to give them.
the government will have to increase their benefit to make up the shortfall of the minimum the law says they need to live on. (unless it's not law anymore)

I think as long as you've registered with the council that you require a smaller property. then the tax shouldn't be liable.

how long it takes them to find you that smaller property is up to them. it's not the tenants responsibility. and it would be criminal to not give them a smaller property so as to avoid the tax.

it's madness. it's almost as mad as the old window tax.
