These same (polite, sensible, middle class type) people are perfectly happy to pay income tax when they actually barely engage with the state. Yet call it a *council* tax and it focuses minds on "what are they doing for me?"

I think it's naming the tax after what it funds rather than what's being taxed. Makes it seem like a sort of netflix subscription. See also the licence fee.
