How council tax works
Council Tax is a local tax on domestic properties, set by local authorities. Properties are assigned to bands A–H based on their value at a specific valuation date (1991 in England, 2003 in Wales, 1991 in Scotland). The amount you pay depends on your band, your local council's rate, and any discounts or exemptions you qualify for. The single person discount gives 25% off.
