Research by OU Senior Lecturer in Finance, Rajiv Prabhakar, has been cited in a new report commissioned by the Welsh Government and produced during the pandemic. "An assessment of the feasibility of a local income tax to replace council tax in Wales" was written by Jennie Bunt at Cardiff University. The impact of the report's timing "brought with it an increased emphasis on both funding for public services and household affordability." You can now download the report as a PDF.
