Council Tax by Council: Full Directory
All 350 billing-authority pages are live, covering England, Wales and Scotland. Comparing a specific council quickly? Use the interactive Council Tax Calculator instead for the same figures in a single form.
Figures are sourced from the official Council Tax level statistics published by GOV.UK, the Welsh Government and the Scottish Government; each council's page links directly to its own official source. TaxEngines has a dedicated page for all 350 billing authorities: 296 in England, 22 in Wales and 32 in Scotland. Northern Ireland uses domestic rates rather than Council Tax and is not included.
How Council Tax bands work
Every domestic property in England, Wales and Scotland sits in a valuation band, based on its value on a fixed historic date rather than its current market price. Band D is the reference point: each band pays a fixed proportion of the Band D rate, so a Band A home pays less and a Band H (or, in Wales, Band I) home pays more, for the same council. Wales uses nine bands, A to I; England and Scotland use eight, A to H.
The Band D rate itself is set independently by each council to fund local services. In England and Wales, county, police and fire precepts are added on top, plus an area-average parish or community council precept, so two councils with the same Band D valuation can still charge very different amounts. Scotland is unitary, with no parish-precept layer, and its figure excludes water and sewerage, which are billed alongside Council Tax as a separate charge using the same band ratios. That's why comparing a single band letter across councils, or across nations, can be misleading without checking the underlying rate, which is exactly what each council's own page here shows.
