"The Government has abolished Council Tax Benefit in favour of a local rebate scheme which is implemented separately by every council, but the funding made available to local authorities has been reduced by 10 percent, leaving them with a shortfall to make up if they wish to keep income from council tax at the same level. The Government will save £470m under the new scheme."

let's hope there is a U-turn, people power did do it for Poll tax ....
