Band I (up to £2 million) and Band J (above £2 million) aim to ensure the ultra-wealthy pay more, with Band J hikes hitting £3,600 extra. While the government expects £12–16 million annually — a small slice of total tax revenue — the move is framed as fairness, not greed. Only 0.5% of homes will be affected. The Greens applaud it as a way to fund schools and libraries, while the Conservatives call it performative, warning it could scare off buyers and hurt cash-poor homeowners. The government insists the funds stay local and invites public feedback before final rates are set. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
