How Council Tax is calculated and spent
Council Tax changes
The amount you pay depends on which ‘property band’ your home is in. This is shown on the Council Tax bill.
For 2023 to 2024, we have worked hard to deliver services while limiting the cost. The increase of 1.99% is the same as last year and less than the rate of inflation. This means an annual increase of £4.18, or 8p a week, for the majority of residents who live in a Band D property. The most expensive increase, for Band H properties, will be 16p a week.
