I searched CAG for this but couldn't find anything. What is the ECHR view on the collection of council tax through earnings arrestment etc? I ask because the arrestment on my wages equates to just 10% of my gross pay. I'm effectively paying double the rate of income tax. This is causing severe financial hardship for my family, resulting in further debt, denying my children food in their mouths and clothes on their backs. The arrestment only has a couple of months to go so there is light at the end of the tunnel, but the levels of arrestment are far too high in my view.
