Description
The Poll tax, also known as the Community Charge and later known as Council Tax was introduced in Britain in 1990. There was a large amount of opposition in the early years as people felt it shifted the tax on the rich to the poor. Riots broke out across Britain, the largest of which was in London in March 1990.
