A statistical revaluation of council tax subjects in Wales

In this report, partially funded by the ESRC and Welsh Government, Stephen Hincks and Chris Leishman explore the potential impacts of a revaluation of council tax subjects in Wales. The report, positioned in relation to established and long-running debates on the design and introduction of the council tax in the UK, provides a robust statistical contribution to ongoing debates about options for revaluing the council tax base in Wales. The study demonstrates that statistical methods are an effective approach that could be used to allow more frequent and systematic monitoring of current property values in the future, not only Wales but also in other parts of the UK.
