Council Tax bands and bills
What the bill is spent on
For information about how we spend your Council Tax please see the latest Council Tax booklet.
Part of your Council Tax also goes to the Greater London Authority and you can see a break down of the spend in our Greater London Authority Budget downloads.
Your Council Tax bill
To calculate your bill, the Valuation Office Agency decides the band your property is in. There are eight bands (A-H) depending on the property market value on 1 April 1991.
The band will determine how much Council Tax you will have to pay and the full Council Tax bill is based on two or more adults living in your property.
Bills are sent out every March.
