| AdminHistory | In April 1989, the conservative Government replaced the old council rates with the new community charge in Scotland, a year before it was introduced in England and Wales. It had first been proposed in 1986 in a Green Paper 'Paying for Local Government'. The poll tax as it was known was paid by individuals rather than local revenue being based upon the value of a property. it was very unpopular and led to demonstrations and riots. The policy was dropped in 1991. |
