The Welsh Government is seeking views on the proposal to amend earnings thresholds for Attachment of Earnings Orders (AEO) issued by Welsh local authorities.

They are proposing to uprate the AEO thresholds so that the level of earnings taken into account for council tax purposes reflects 'real terms change'.

As part of this consultation they would be interested in views on whether the thresholds should be uprated routinely, and if so, how frequently.
