The highest bills are in Nottingham (£2,226), followed by Dorset (£2,223) and Rutland (£2,195). It came on top of a 3.9 per cent rise the year before. Last year council tax bills rose by 4.4 per cent to an average of £1,898. It means that if any council charging more than £1,946 this year adds 2.8 per cent to their Band D bill, it will exceed £2,000 next time. In addition, councils with responsibility for social care – that is county councils and unitaries – can add a further 1 per cent.Īccording to the Institute of Fiscal Studies, this means councils can put up bills by around 2.8 per cent on average. The Treasury said this week that councils can put up their bills by 2 per cent without a local referendum. Council tax bills are made up of charges from a range of authorities, from county, district and unitary councils to police and fire bodies.
