To calculate your Council Tax, you need to know the following:
If you are on a low income or receive benefits, you may be eligible for Council Tax Reduction (formerly known as Council Tax Benefit).
Your property may be put in a different band in some circumstances, for example if:
A full Council Tax bill is based on at least two adults living in a home. Spouses and partners who live together are jointly responsible for paying the bill.
Certain people are not counted (‘disregarded’) when working out how many people live in a property. Your Council Tax bill may be reduced if there are disregarded people living in your property. There are also discounts that may be available for households where everyone is a full-time student or if someone living in the property is disabled.
If you think you have overpaid your Council Tax bill you need to contact your local council to discuss a refund.
