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 2024 to 2025, 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 that 95% of residents will face on increase of 10p a week or less. The most expensive increase, for Band H properties, will be 16p a week.
