Under consideration PE2153: Reduce council tax by 50% for single persons
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to reduce council tax by 50% for single persons.
Background information
The cost of living is rising, council tax is rising, electricity and gas bills, not to mention the price of food at the moment. People such as myself who work full time but live on their own have the same bills as everyone else but with only one wage. It is getting more and more difficult to prioritise between health and necessities.
