Andy Burnham is pushing for council tax reform, arguing the current system is deeply unfair—North West homeowners pay more on smaller homes than Londoners on vastly larger ones. He supports past efforts to tackle this imbalance, citing outdated property valuations, and while committed to manifesto pledges on income tax, VAT, and National Insurance, he’s open to revisiting council tax for equity. Critics, especially from the opposition, warn it could hit middle England hardest, while Downing Street insists no new land or property levy is planned—any changes must come from the Chancellor at official fiscal events. The debate rages on as pressure mounts to fix a tax system many see as unjust.
