According to MHCLG, Council Tax levels set by local authorities in England 2026-27, North Tyneside's Band D Council Tax is £2,461.77 for 2026-27 (OVER), the 133rd highest of 350 UK billing authorities (higher than 62% of them) and 5% above the UK average of £2,337.00.
How we calculate this rank & percentile
We compare every UK billing authority with a published 2026-27 Band D rate (350 in total). Rank is one plus the number with a higher charge, so equal charges share a rank. Percentile is round(authorities with a lower charge ÷ 350 × 100). The UK average is the simple mean of every council's Band D rate in our coverage set. Because the rank spans all three nations, it compares what each authority charges, not what each charge buys. English bands rest on 1991 property values in eight bands, A to H, while Scotland uses its own 1991 thresholds and Wales revalued to 2003 values with a ninth band. An English Band D home is therefore not the same property profile as a Welsh or Scottish one. See our methodology page for the full source-to-figure lineage.

Derived position reading
What the North Tyneside Band D figure shows
The published Band D charge of £2,461.77 places North Tyneside 133rd out of 350 UK billing authorities when ordered from the highest charge down. That position is derived from the full authority table, rather than from a single quoted comparison. It is 5.3% above the simple UK average of £2,337.00, while the percentile shows that 62% of the recorded authorities have a lower Band D charge.
The more useful local comparison is North East. Here, North Tyneside ranks 10th among 12 billing authorities, against a regional average of £2,526.00. The table of nearby authorities therefore compares published charges in the same geography, not property values or the level of service a household receives. Equal Band D charges share a position, so the ranking does not invent a difference where the underlying values match.
Band D is a statutory reference point, not a bill for every household. Charges for the other bands are calculated from the applicable national ratios, and discounts or exemptions can change an individual bill. This page is best used to understand the current published schedule and how this authority sits within the recorded 2026-27 council-tax corpus.

Four largest band differences
- The largest separation is lower on the ladder at Band C: North Tyneside has 19.8% of dwellings there, against 17.5% in Middlesbrough. That extra lower-band weight pulls its stock profile away from the peer.

Counts are published rounded to the nearest 10, so shares are approximate and may not sum to exactly 100%. The stock-weighted average is our calculation: each band's 2026/2027 charge multiplied by its property count, divided by the total. It is a mean across the whole stock, not a bill any individual household receives.
