What is Council Tax?

Council Tax is one way in which the Council raises money to pay for the services it provides.

Council Tax replaced the Community Charge (also known as the Poll Tax) and came into effect on 01/04/1993.

It is a property tax with a personal element - that is, it takes into account the value of a property and the number of people aged 18 or over who live there.

The amount of the Council Tax is set and the tax is collected as laid down in the Local Government Finance Act 1992.

The amount payable is based on the Council Tax Banding into which the property has been placed.
