Council Tax 2026-27: Check Your Band and Bill
Check your council tax band, then find your council below for its 2026-27 Band D rate and the bill for every band from A to H.
Your council tax bill is your local council's Band D rate multiplied by your band's fraction: Band A pays 6/9 of Band D, Band D pays the full rate, and Band H pays double (18/9). For 2026-27 the average Band D bill is £2,391.52 in England, £1,653.44 in Scotland and £2,283.08 in Wales.
- Bands run A to H in England and Scotland (A to I in Wales), set on property values at 1 April 1991 (1 April 2003 in Wales).
- Band A (the lowest) pays £1,594 on average in England; Band H pays £4,783.
- Living alone qualifies you for a 25% single person discount.
- Full-time students and severely mentally impaired residents can be exempt entirely.
How to check your council tax band and bill
Your band is set by the Valuation Office Agency in England and Wales, and by the Scottish Assessors in Scotland. Only their registers can tell you the band of a given address, so start there, then come back to your council's page for the 2026-27 amount.
- Find your band by postcode. In England and Wales, search the address on GOV.UK: check your Council Tax band. In Scotland, use the Scottish Assessors Association website.
- Find your council. If you are not sure which council bills your address, GOV.UK finds it from your postcode. Then type its name below.
- Read your bill. Each council page shows its 2026-27 Band D rate and the amount for every band. In England, Band A pays 6/9 of Band D and Band H pays 18/9. Wales adds Band I (21/9), and Scotland uses its own fractions for Bands E to H.
Bands reflect what the home would have sold for on 1 April 1991 in England and 1 April 2003 in Wales. If yours looks too high, you can challenge it for free: see how to appeal your council tax band.

Council Tax Guides
How is council tax calculated?
Council tax is based on your property band (A-H in England and Scotland, A-I in Wales), set using property values on 1 April 1991 (1 April 2003 in Wales). Each local authority sets a Band D rate, and all other bands are calculated as a proportion of that. Band A pays two-thirds (6/9) of Band D, while Band H pays double (18/9). A 25% single person discount applies if you live alone. See how council tax fits into your overall take-home pay using our salary calculator.
