Council Tax bands by council
Your council collects Council Tax, but it does not set your band — that is done by the Valuation Office Agency (England & Wales) or your local Assessor (Scotland), frozen to decades-old values. Pick your council to see how its bands work, who to challenge, and whether you might be over-banded.
Not sure if you're over-banded?
The £4.99 band check compares your band against your whole postcode and gives a plain verdict.
