Council Tax Support Consultation
We have a local scheme that provides help to working age residents on low incomes to pay their Council Tax. We are required by law to reconsider the scheme each year.

We set the amount of Council Tax you have to pay every year.
The Valuation Office Agency has put each property in England in one of eight bands based on its price in 1 April 1991.
We set the amount you have to pay for each band.

How we use your Council Tax
We use your Council Tax to pay for many local services like emergency services, rubbish collection, libraries, schools, street lights and much more.
Some of the money goes to pay for the Greater London Authority (GLA) spending.
How we calculate your Council Tax
We calculate your Council Tax using the Valuation Office's bands and the GLA charges.
