Yes, the 1991-based system is wildly regressive and forces working-class families to pay a higher tax rate than billionaires in mansions

The SDP views the current 1991-based council tax system as regressive and unfair to working-class families in lower-value regions compared to wealthy homeowners in the South East.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only if asset-rich, cash-poor pensioners can defer payments so they aren't forced to sell their family homes

While the SDP supports the transition to PPT, their communitarian approach typically favors protections for the 'cash-poor, asset-rich' to ensure the tax is fair across the lifecycle.

Strongly disagree

No, taxing unrealized paper gains arbitrarily punishes homeowners for housing market inflation they cannot control

The SDP rejects the idea that property tax should be based on 30-year-old valuations, viewing the current system as a greater distortion than market-value taxation.

Strongly disagree

No, any tax increase on property is just another state money-grab targeting families trying to build generational wealth

The SDP is not a libertarian party; they support fair taxation and state intervention to reduce inequality and fund public services, rejecting the 'money-grab' narrative.

Strongly disagree

No, local councils need stable funding and a fluctuating property tax would bankrupt municipal budgets during a housing market crash

The SDP argues that the current local government funding model is already failing and that a fairer property tax would provide a more equitable distribution of resources.

Very strongly disagree

No

Retaining the status quo contradicts the party's explicit policy goal of fundamental property tax reform.
