Common questions
How is Council Tax worked out?
Each council sets a Band D charge. Your bill is a fixed share of it depending on your band: in England, Band A pays 6/9 of Band D and Band H pays twice Band D.
What is the average Council Tax in 2026/27?
The average Band D charge in England is £2,392 for 2026/27, up 4.9% on 2025/26. Bills vary a lot between councils.
Who gets 25% off?
If you’re the only adult living in your home you get a 25% single person discount. Students, some carers and people with a severe mental impairment are not counted.
Can I pay over 12 months?
Yes. Most councils collect over 10 months by default, but you have the right to ask to pay in 12 monthly instalments instead.
