How much is your council tax?

[Cwtches123]

Band D £1863

Does the property value tax include water rates Kay?

£2574.12 4 bed detached in the South Wales valleys

Think we are band E

And that’s not including water which is another £636 on top.

@teyem I'm not 100% sure what it will include. Will need to read the proposals again.

Band E 4 bed detached south east £2500 no street lighting or sewage have to pay service charge of £500 a year too

£2180. Band E.

Interesting to see so much variation between the same bands.

Band d £1537 - no water just usual council amenities. This is a London borough.

For those of you who don’t know your band you should check and make sure it is correct. I had a flat in band c which was ridiculous and I got it down to band b. I then was refunded.

£1,557.29, band C, 4-bed semi in East Anglia.

@1100 2 bed flat West London

£1565 band C 3 bed terrace greater Manchester

2018/19 was £1,739.36 Band D (large 3 bed, rural East Mids)

Not got the bill for 2019/20 yet but I think it has gone up 5%

We have the lowest council tax in the country, so our Band F bill is £1140 a year
Band E is around £900, I think

I have no idea how they keep it so low, but we have excellent services from our council. Weekly bin collections, weekly street cleaning, well-maintained parks

If we lived a couple of roads away in the neighbouring borough, it would be over £2k a year

There are some roads where the boundary line goes down the middle of the road, so houses on one side will be paying £900 a year for their council tax, and the houses opposite will be paying £1800

Just got the new bill - its actually 1 tenth of my take homepay - ridiculous.

oh no it isn't (I cant count) but its still a fortune :)

Surrey band G £3131. 5 bed detached.

Not had the bill yet but apparently its gone up by 5% before taking into account police and fire (which has gone up) and the social care levy which has probably gone up too.

I'm not looking forward to the bill when it arrives. Sick to death of it going up every year and getting less and less for it

Band G but single person discount £2194

I think it depends (partly at least) on local housing stock. If an area has a lot of small terraced houses & not so many larger/higher value houses, then the burden falls disproportionately on the small houses, to bring in enough revenue.

Looks to be the other way round in London, from the examples quoted...

Band B £1418.07
3 Bed semi Merseyside

Breakdown:
Council £1101.42
Council Adult Social Care £83.46
Merseyside Police & Crime Commissioner £157.09
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Authority £61.32
Liverpool City Regeion Mayoral Precept £14.78

2350 3 bed detached in South Wales

So in Scotland is the Council tax and water rates a combined bill?

Recently moved in to this house and the costs are much higher than our old house - despite having same number of rooms? *

4 bed detached. Band D £1700 for Council tax. Water rates are £880 but I've just switched to a meter - so hopefully that be less.

£880 for water is heaps. Holy crap.
