How Council Tax Bands Work
All council tax bills are calculated relative to the Band D rate. Each band pays a different proportion of Band D using fixed multipliers set by law.
Band Multipliers
Band A = 6/9 of Band D (0.667×)
Band B = 7/9 of Band D (0.778×)
Band C = 8/9 of Band D (0.889×)
Band D = 9/9 of Band D (1.000×)
Band E = 11/9 of Band D (1.222×)
Band F = 13/9 of Band D (1.444×)
Band G = 15/9 of Band D (1.667×)
Band H = 18/9 of Band D (2.000×)
Band B = 7/9 of Band D (0.778×)
Band C = 8/9 of Band D (0.889×)
Band D = 9/9 of Band D (1.000×)
Band E = 11/9 of Band D (1.222×)
Band F = 13/9 of Band D (1.444×)
Band G = 15/9 of Band D (1.667×)
Band H = 18/9 of Band D (2.000×)
Example
Band E property, South East England (£2,000 Band D rate):
Band E multiplier = 11/9 = 1.222×
Annual bill = £2,000 × 1.222 = £2,444
With single person 25% discount = £1,833
Band E multiplier = 11/9 = 1.222×
Annual bill = £2,000 × 1.222 = £2,444
With single person 25% discount = £1,833

Frequently Asked Questions
What is council tax?
Council tax is a local tax set by your local council to fund services like rubbish collection, policing, and local schools. It is based on the estimated value of your property in April 1991.
How are council tax bands determined?
Properties are placed into bands A–H based on their 1991 valuations. Band A is the lowest (under £40,000 in 1991) and Band H is the highest (over £320,000 in 1991). The banding has not changed since 1993.
Who is exempt from council tax?
Full-time students, people with severe mental impairments, and some other groups can be exempt. Properties occupied only by students or severely mentally impaired people may be completely exempt.
What discounts are available?
A 25% single person discount applies if only one adult lives in the property. Some councils offer discounts for low-income households through the Council Tax Reduction scheme.
Can I challenge my council tax band?
Yes. You can challenge your band if you think it is wrong by contacting the Valuation Office Agency (England and Wales) or the Scottish Assessors (Scotland).
