'Bands' in the UK are an assesment of the value of the property. The categories that the article talks about are designations as commercial, residential or agricultural use etc., rather then their value. No indication is given as how properties might be re-assesed for their market value or by whom.
This new law though, could signal a new lease of life for the time-honoured practice of diverting money from maintaining the outside of your house to expensive kitchens, bathrooms and flat-screen tellys, to avoid the attention of the tax man!
