Council Tax is payable on most homes. How much you pay, before benefits and discounts, depends on the “banding” of the property. A ‘typical’ house in the UK is one that was valued at 1 April 1991 at between £68,001 and £88,000 and so is in tax ‘band D’. Houses with lower values are put in bands A to C and pay less tax, while those with higher values are put in bands E to H and pay more tax. The band of your house and the amounts you pay are shown on your bill.
For a property that is in Band D (a ‘typical’ property for the UK) the tax is £2358.34 made up of the following Halton Borough Council charge Police Authority charge Fire Authority charge Mayoral Precept Total £1938.81 £295.44 £ 100.09 £24.00 £2358.34
* The Council Tax attributable to Halton Borough Council includes a precept to fund adult social care.
