The poll tax riots were a series of riots in British towns and cities during protests against the Community Charge (colloquially known as the "poll tax"), introduced by the Conservative government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The largest protest occurred in central London on Saturday 31 March 1990, shortly before the tax was due to come into force in England and Wales.

The ‘poll tax’ was a fixed tax per adult resident, although there was a reduction for poorer people, for the services provided in their community. This caused major administrative problems for local government. More than 200,000 protesters filled Whitehall and Trafalgar Square with over 100 police officers injured. As the impact of the poll tax began to hit large numbers of people refused to pay. In some areas this was up to 30% making enforcement measures by local authorities very difficult. People were refusing to turn up at court hearings and the police were struggling to find the resources to arrest all defaulters.
