'Cruel and archaic' prison threats over council tax must end - charities


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. threats-over-council-tax-must-end-charities.html
Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, January 23rd 2025 at 3:00 GMT by MSN   Print publication without navigation

  • Cruel and archaic' prison threats over council tax must end - charities - A letter calls for 'the removal of the unjustified sanction of imprisonment for non-payment of council tax in England' to be set in motion.

The article discusses the concerns raised by charities regarding the practice of imprisoning individuals for non-payment of council tax in the UK. Charities argue that this practice is "cruel and archaic," particularly affecting the most vulnerable in society, such as those with mental health issues or disabilities. They highlight that many of these individuals are unable to pay due to financial hardship rather than unwillingness. The article mentions that around 50 people a month are being threatened with jail for council tax debts, with some actually being imprisoned. Critics, including the charity group Money Advice Trust, are calling for an end to this practice, pointing out that it does not solve the underlying issues of poverty and can exacerbate mental health problems. There is also a call for a more compassionate approach to debt collection, focusing on support rather than punishment.
