Bands and charges
Council Tax band overview
All domestic properties are banded in one of eight valuation bands. These range from band A to band H based on the value of the property and determine the amount of Council Tax you pay.
Property bandings are set by the HM Revenue and Customs' Valuation Office Agency (VOA), and not the Council, and valuations are based on the capital value of the properties on 1st April 1991. New properties built since 1st April 1991 are valued as if they also existed in 1991.
As a billing authority we are required to set a Council Tax charge based on band D dwellings each year. Dwellings in other bands are charged at a rate proportionate to the band D charge.
| Valuation Band | Range of Prices | Proportion to Band D |
|---|---|---|
| Band A | Up to and including £40,000 | 6/9 |
| Band B | £40,000 to £52,000 | 7/9 |
| Band C | £52,001 to £68,000 | 8/9 |
| Band D | £68,001 to £88,000 | 1 |
| Band E | £88,001 to £120,000 | 11/9 |
| Band F | £120,001 to £160,000 | 13/9 |
| Band G | £160,001 to £320,000 | 15/9 |
| Band H | More than £320,000 | 2 |
