英国最贫穷人口现在将收入的4.8%花在理事会税上,是最富有人口的三倍。 UK's poorest now spend 4.8% of their income on council taxes, triple the increase of the richest.

英国最贫穷的家庭在理事会税收中支付的收入份额越来越大,最贫穷的五分之一家庭现在将收入的4.8%用于该税,比2002年的2.9%有所增加。 Poorest UK households are paying a growing share of their income on council taxes, with the poorest fifth now spending 4.8% of their income on it, up from 2.9% in 2002. 这一增长是最富有家庭的三倍,原因是账单上涨和财政支助减少。 This increase is three times higher than for the richest households, due to rising bills and reduced financial support. 决议基金会警告说,情况正变得越来越倒退,与1990年代的民调税相似,最贫穷者在理事会税上的支出几乎与所得税一样多。 The Resolution Foundation warns that the situation is becoming increasingly regressive, similar to the poll tax of the 1990s, with the poorest spending almost as much on council tax as on income tax.
