Burnham is wrong about most things but… It cannot be right that empty foreign owned Mansion in Belgravia pay less tax than an estate detached in Bolton Plus abolition of stamp duty would boost the housing market and increase Labour mobility. South faces triple the bills of the North under Burnham Prime minister-in-waiting is an advocate for a land value tax system in the South face bills almost three times higher than the North under plans to revamp council tax backed by Andy Burnham. Average council tax bills currently cost more in the North than the South. A proposal to scrap council tax and replace it with a 1pc annual levy on the value of private land would reverse the disparity. Adopting a land value tax system would mean Southerners paying £1,650 a year on average, while Northerners would have bills of just £600 a year, a Telegraph analysis has found. Mr Burnham, the so-called “King of the North” and likely next prime minister, has for years advocated a land tax, suggesting it could be brought in as a replacement for both council tax and stamp duty.
