a tax which was paid in Britain by owners of houses and businesses and used to provide money for local services. Rates on houses were replaced in 1989-90 by the community charge, also known as the poll tax, which taxed everyone who was registered to vote in a particular area. This was not popular and caused angry public protests until it was itself replaced in 1993 by the council tax.
