About the UK Council Tax billing authority network
Council Tax in the United Kingdom is administered by approximately 350 billing authorities, local councils responsible for setting the annual charge for their territory. Each council publishes a schedule of charges by Council Tax band (A through H in England and Scotland, A through I in Wales) for the financial year running 1 April to 31 March. Charges vary materially across the UK reflecting local funding decisions, the Adult Social Care precept, police and fire precepts, and any parish or special-purpose authority precept stacked on top of the council's own component.
The VOA administers the valuation lists in England and Wales; Scottish Assessors maintain Scotland's valuation roll. England and Scotland use 1 April 1991 valuation dates, while Wales uses its 2003 revaluation. Each nation has its own thresholds, and Scotland's E-H charge multipliers have differed from England and Wales since 2017.
The Local Government Finance Act 1992 provides the core framework, with later nation-specific amendments. Annual increase rules and referendum or capping arrangements vary by nation, authority type, and financial year, so this directory does not treat one headline threshold as a UK-wide rule.
MHCLG, the Scottish Government, and Welsh Government / StatsWales publish the national rate tables behind this directory. The 350 authorities below have 2026-27 Band D values between £1,028.21 and £2,765.02, loaded from the same database as our open downloads. Each council page shows its nation-correct band schedule, year-on-year change versus 2025-26, and comparison with the unweighted authority mean of £2,337.00.
Council Tax Band Multipliers
Band D is the reference rate and each nation defines statutory ratios for the other bands. Bands A-D share the same ratios, but Scotland's E-H ratios are higher than England and Wales, and Wales adds Band I. The table includes the separate Scottish E-H rows.

Nation-specific statutory multipliers, including Scotland's revised E-H ratios effective from April 2017. The illustration applies each ratio to the unweighted authority mean Band D of £2,337.00 for 2026-27; actual charges vary by council.
Council Tax by Region and Nation (2026-27)
Average Band D rates vary substantially across English regions and nations. North East is the highest-charging English region at £2,526.00 on average, while London is the lowest at £2,090.00. Scotland's 32 councils average £1,662.00, significantly below the UK average of £2,337.00, partly reflecting different funding arrangements and the Council Tax Reduction Scheme administered by the Scottish Government. Wales averages £2,326.00 across 22 billing authorities, using a nine-band structure (A through I) rather than the eight-band English/Scottish framework.

Biggest and Smallest Council Tax Rises, 2026-27
The average Band D charge across all 350 billing authorities rose by 5.1% in the 2026-27 financial year compared with 2025-26, according to data published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the Scottish Government. Individual council increases vary materially depending on precept decisions and whether the authority applied the full adult social care precept.

How to Reduce Your Council Tax
Several statutory reductions and exemptions can lower a household's council tax liability regardless of which billing authority administers the charge. The main routes are listed below; eligibility rules vary slightly between England, Scotland, and Wales.
- Single-person discount (25%)
- If only one adult lives in the property as their sole or main home, a 25% discount applies automatically. Certain residents are disregarded for this purpose (full-time students, apprentices, care workers, severely mentally impaired adults, under-18s) and do not count toward the adult total. A property with two adults where one is disregarded would still qualify for the 25% discount.
- Council Tax Reduction (CTR) / Support
- All billing authorities administer a means-tested reduction scheme for households on low incomes. In England, councils design their own CTR schemes subject to a government cap; in Scotland and Wales, nationally consistent schemes apply. Pension-age claimants may receive up to 100% reduction. Working-age claimants receive a maximum discount set by their council. Apply directly to your billing authority.
- Band challenge
- If your property appears to be in the wrong band, you can use the Valuation Office route in England and Wales or contact the local Scottish Assessor in Scotland. If the band changes, the council revises the bill and pays any refund due from the decision's effective date. See our band challenge guide for the nation-specific process.
- Empty and second-home premiums
- English councils may charge a premium of up to 100% on properties that have been empty and unfurnished for more than one year, and up to 300% on long-term empties after ten years. Some councils charge similar premiums on furnished second homes. By contrast, a property that is genuinely unoccupied because the resident has moved into a care home or hospital is usually exempt. Welsh councils have additional powers to charge up to 300% on second homes under the Local Government Finance (Wales) Act 2024.
- Exemptions for certain property types
- Specific exemptions exist for student-only households (all occupants are full-time students), properties left empty after a death until probate is granted, and properties that are uninhabitable due to structural damage. Armed forces accommodation and diplomatic premises are also exempt.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does council tax vary so much between councils?
- Each billing authority sets its own component in response to local spending, funding, and tax-base decisions. The published area Band D total can also include police, fire, mayoral, parish, and other precepts. England's referendum principles and adult social care flexibility are set annually and vary by authority type; Scotland and Wales use separate arrangements. Those differences are why one headline percentage does not explain every council's movement.
- When is council tax payable?
- The financial year runs from 1 April to 31 March. Most billing authorities collect council tax in ten monthly instalments (April to January), though some offer 12-month payment plans on request. Direct debit is the most common payment method. If you move mid-year, your bill is recalculated from the move date and any overpayment is refunded; your new council issues a separate bill for the remainder of the year. Non-payment triggers a reminder notice, then a final notice, and ultimately a liability order which enables the council to deduct from wages or benefits, or instruct enforcement agents.
- Is council tax different in Scotland and Wales?
- Scotland uses the same A-H band structure as England but charges are generally lower because the Scottish Government provides additional funding to hold increases down and the Council Tax Reduction Scheme is administered nationally. Wales uses a nine-band structure (A through I) introduced by the Local Government Finance (Wales) Act 2024, where Band I covers properties valued above a higher threshold than English Band H. Welsh councils can also apply higher premiums on second homes and long-term empty properties under the same legislation. Band valuations in all three nations are based on 1991 values (England, Scotland) or 2003 values (Wales).
