Your Council Tax pays for hundreds of services that you
use every day, from having your bins emptied to educating your
children. Each year, we work out how much we need to run these
services, as well as our day-to-day running costs, for the next
financial year. It is this figure that helps to decide how much
council tax you pay.
The Inland Revenue's Listing
Officers have valued your home on the basis of open market values
on April 1 1991. There are eight valuation bands and your home will
fall into one of them.
The council has set an amount for band D and you will pay a
percentage of this depending on which band your property is
in.
