Here in the UK the populous threaten revolution at the very hint of a mention of the suggestion of a revaluation
after 20 years.

Yet a tax based on what your house would have been worth in 1991 (even if it wasn't built then) sounds like
something out of the
Monster Raving Loony Party's manifesto. It seems lost on the average Mail reader that *on average* a revaluation
will not affect anyone's council tax, subject to the revaluation not being
used as an excuse to increase spending.

Ah, but it*will* be used as that excuse. That's what Daily Mail
readers realise that some others don't want to admit.

The revaluations should have been no more than five years apart.

Revaluation should only take place when a property is sold IMO. That is the only point at which the value of the
property has any
relationship with your income.

Its got nothing to do with your income. Everything to
do with the higher value propertys paying more tax.
