WOULD it not be a good idea if the Council followed the practice which is already implemented in many parts of the country, of offering a discount to council tax payers who pay the whole amount within the first month in which it is due. A figure of 10pc is suggested.
Of course many tax payers would not be in a position to do this and could take advantage of the other methods of payment.
