Millions of low-income families face council tax rises - despite David Cameron's pledge to freeze it.
Even those who now pay nothing will get annual bills averaging nearly £300. Some poorer people will be hit for double that.
Up to 3.7million under-65s - 1.1million of them single mums - will lose council tax benefit from April 6 in what Labour is dubbing the Pickles Poll Tax.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles is bringing in the changes the SAME day the top rate of tax drops and 8,000 millionaires get tax cuts of at least £40,000 each.
