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.
