Council Tax is usually billed over 10 monthly instalments, though your council sets the exact months. You have the right to request 12 monthly instalments instead, in writing to your council. Each payment is smaller, but the total amount you pay over the year is exactly the same either way.
The 10-month column reflects the usual default. The 12-month column applies only if you've arranged 12 monthly instalments with your council.

How Council Tax bands work
Every domestic property is placed into a valuation band based on its value on a fixed historic date, not its current market value. Band D is the reference point: lower bands pay a fixed fraction of the Band D rate, higher bands pay more.
What is included in this bill
The figures above are the full bill for each band: Kingston upon Hull's own charge, plus county, police and fire precepts, plus an area-average parish or community council precept. An individual parish's own precept can differ slightly from this area average.

The figures above are the standard full charge and do not include any discount or premium. A 25% Single Person Discount applies if you are the only adult living in the property.
