Oxon Council calls for tax shift trials PDF Print E-mail

Oxfordshire County Council passed a motion yesterday calling on Government to support land value taxation trial runs.

The voting was 32:17 - Conservatives voted against but the Tory Leader of Council, Keith mitchell, said he would do the Council's bidding and write to relevant Government Departments.

However after the council has all-out elections on 5 May and the future of any local extension to the trial will be a subject for negotiation: Tories are unlikely to want it to proceed.
