You are ignoring the effect of RSG which smooths out the differences in asset values. Also council tax can vary becasue people voted for a higher level of service.
Your % approach would have a negative effect on those who are asset rich but cash poor whose asset has appreciated due to external factors.
I think the current band approach is a reasonable compromise of asset/income but it is way out of date with no sign of a review.

“A man who suffered serious injuries after a toucan crossing pole hit him on the head has died in hospital.
Northamptonshire Police said the pole struck the man after a car crashed into it”
