Poll tax rebilling chaos hits Scots

Article Abstract:

The late arrival of 1992-1993 transitional relief regulations covering poll tax bills in Scotland has caused problems for the billing of over a million of its tax payers. These tax payers were issued poll tax bills gross of transitional relief deductions instead of net bills. In Lothian, officials have expected late payments by tax payers who know that bills were to be reduced by this new scheme. John Diggory, Lothian's Depute Director for Finance, expects the Scottish Office to reimburse the Lothian regional authority for rebilling costs.
