O espião do `do Web site' aumentará o imposto de conselho

Por Sarah O' Grady

O TRABALHO reivindica que postponed o revaluation do imposto de conselho em Inglaterra está exposto hoje como um sham.

Gordon Brown continuou a autorizar da “um estado base de dados” para aumentar contas de imposto do conselho, de acordo com os originais novos obtidos sob a liberdade do ato da informação.

Um contrato assinado pelo Tesouraria revela informação detalhada de nove fora de 10 vendas da casa e os rentals são entrados “uma base de dados do irmão grande” a preparar-se para um hike do imposto do revaluation.

The Government was so concerned about details of the contract leaking out that it forced property website Rightmove, which negotiated for the contract, to sign a secrecy clause.

Almost every revalued home in Wales shot up into a more expensive tax band.

The £6million contract with Rightmove is soon due for renewal.

Revenue & Customs, which has lost millions of personal tax and benefit records, is systematically raiding estate agents’ records to build up a database for its council tax inspectors, the Valuation Office Agency.

Eric Pickles MP, Conservative Shadow Secretary of State for Local Government, said: “Conservatives will stop this data plundering of people’s private homes, end Brown’s stealth tax revaluation and abolish state inspectors’ rights of entry into our homes.”

Rightmove holds 16million property records, with 3.3million records updated alone in December.

The Rightmove contract reveals why the information is wanted: for revaluation purposes.

The full document can be seen on www.conservatives.com/pdf/Rightmovecontract.pdf.

A Communities and Local Government spokesman said: “The Valuation Office Agency is simply maintaining an accurate council tax valuation list. The powers of the VOA have not changed since the introduction of council tax, by the Conservative government, in 1993.”
