How much has your council tax gone up?

[Shareaway11]

Just our of interest really.
Ours is up 4.75% this year, not unexpected in the current climate but this is the lowest it's been in my area for 10 years, usually 4.99%
We pay for greens bins separately, do you?

4.8%. Payments will now be £216 a month (over 10 months). 3 bedroom semi (rented). South east.
Green bins are separate and paid, optional.

Stayed the same

Council tax is 'supposedly' based on property value (although I suspect we will all agree the basis for determine value is absurd. Yet somehow where I live a band C will pay £2500 yet those in band C in Chelsea will pay £1400. This is just one of the many examples that could be given to highlight the issue

4.9% green bins are an optional extra around £80 per year.

Very expensive for the little services we get..

God there is so much wrong with this tax.

Not least of which is how increases are reported - BBC going on about "rising bills" etc - it's not a bill, it's a tax, and when it goes up it's a tax increase.

5% but town council part went up nearly 30% despite them being absolutely pointless. Pay extra for garden waste.

It’s by far our most expensive monthly bill and it doesn’t feel worth it. I doubt there will even be adult social care by the time I am old enough. In the meantime the libraries are running down, the roads are diabolical, the school buses catch fire because they are so decrepit, the street bins are overflowing…
