To ask how much your council tax has gone up by this year?

[Keeprisinghigher]

Mine is up over 4%. I haven’t had a pay rise for 5 years now and these bills just keep going up and up. Gas and electric fixed deal up too and even with switching it is 20% higher than last year! I can see a time in the future when I won’t be able to afford to run a house and will have to houseshare or something. Not good aged 42!

5.5%

Haven't got this year's bill yet but absolutely dreading it. It's already £150 a month and I struggle to afford that.

9.5%

9.5%

4% here too, I agree with pp, everything has gone up apart from my wages!

We haven't had ours yet but dreading it. We're already struggling to pay any extras like school trips and clothes.

argyll 4.79%

4.9%. Now £230 a month.

Havent had the bill yet :( but the dd mandate is up. Probably an extra £6 per month.

Just had the bill today it's gone from£112/month to £117/month

Now £230 a month

Ouch!

Ouch indeed 😬

I thought there had to be a referendum if it was going up by more than 6%?

1.99% here

5% here!

5.7% SE

3.85% - £5 a month. It was frozen for several years before that; as it is the council have had to make lots of cuts. I think it's perfectly reasonable, although I understand that for some people any increase is difficult.

9.5%!!! My goodness that's some hike. Ours has gone up 3%.

Council tax is a radically unfair tax, particularly given the rapid and fundamental changes in the property market since it was introduced.

4.5% here

4.99%
The email explaining the reasons said if 5% or more there had to be a local referendum or something.
translates to about £80 a year.

It's horrendous and am on a pension ☹️

Not had it yet but rumoured to be 5% from what a local councillor said......

Ours says 4.5% rise but our monthly payments have gone down by £10! I'm confused and need to call them

5.95% it's awful. Cut so many resources too

Mine has gone from 94 to 108!!!!
