Act 1987 was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher was committed to the reform of local government finance; the solution decided upon by the mid-1980s was the introduction of the per-capita "community charge" - more famously known as the Poll Tax - and the abolition of the previous "rates" system, which had been based solely on property ownership.
