Your Council tax rise?

[Netcurtainnelly]

How much has your council tax has gone up too and how your managing all this increase all the time .
Ours gone up a hundred and five pounds from last year

4.9% across the board!

Mine's gone up 6%, plus I've lost my 25% discount as dd is no longer a student, so my monthly charge has increased massively since last year.

Cheshire East and we’ve gone up by about £40 a month.

Mine has gone up but due to the change in threshold amounts and being on a low income with two kids I’ve just been informed I have a 100% council tax reduction. It’s should be £3600 a year before any discounts though. It’s private rent.

£10 per month to £184 band B.

Mine is up 9% £201 per year and that’s with a single person discount.
thankfully I can afford the increase just now but when everything is on the rise I’ll be penny pinching in next to no time or having to work all the overtime I can just to live a fairly modest lifestyle.

Ours has gone up 5 percent - suppose that's normal.

You know exactly how that will go, though - especially as theirs was re-assessed more recently: they'll end up with no change financially but now with 11 worse-off neighbours who will hate them forever.

Ours is up £140 this year (7.6% overall) - Band B.

I get that the council's costs have gone up, like everybody else's, but it's well above inflation and what we will get as a pay-rise - so we now have no choice but to reduce our standard of living and make sacrifices, if the council can't/won't.

Up 4.8%. I was surprised, as that's the lowest in 4 years, given previous bankruptcies meant 15% at one point. Not exactly happy but better than I'd expected given the mayor's doom laden letters and the overturning of the LTN thing meaning they may owe a metric fuckton of cash to a lot of people.

I’m already struggling as it is. Mines gone up £230ish per year.

We can’t go on like this.

I find it so perplexing when people write monetary amounts like this!

Wow. Some huge sums on here. Almost 5k a year in council tax?!

I'm lucky here in Australia. When you rent, the landlord pays the CT, not the tenant. The landlord also pays the water bill!

Presumably they are recouping those costs via rent?

It’s the worst tax
regressive and takes no account of ability to pay
needs reform
I am widowed work part time and my bill is £2200 per year, I earn £1200 pcm bc I have to care for my disabled son and my mum who has dementia.

75% of council tax gets spent on social care

with private companies increasing the costs council tax is going to keep increasing, they have councils over a barrel

mine has gone up by 4.5%

it’s averaging £300,000 for a child in care annually

10% pay more and get much much less. Time councils spending was properly scrutinised. Our biggest rise is apparently for adult social care though strangely there’s none to be found in our area.

Gone up £157.75 for the year.

Is that a bit of an irrelevant distinction though? Wouldn’t the landlord be factoring in all their costs when coming up with the rent?

Scotland and it was 9% last year and 10% this year. An absolute joke!

About £50

8% this year on top of 10% last year. Now, including water, it is just shy of £3k per annum on a property worth £150k. Scotland.

Ours went up £190 a year

biggest % rise this year goes to my water bill which has gone up 50%

I live in Spain in a 3 bed house with a large garden. Mine is €68 a month! This year it was reduced by about €2. They fix potholes here too!
