About the 2026/27 rates

Council tax rates for 2026/27 came into force on 1 April 2026. For 2026/27 the government's core referendum principle limits standard increases in England to 3%, with a further 2% adult social care precept for councils that run social care services, so most such authorities could raise Band D by up to 5% without a local referendum. A handful of councils in financial difficulty were granted a bespoke, higher principle as part of exceptional financial support.

In Wales, councils set their own rates within a framework set by the Welsh Government. Welsh council tax bills include a levy for the relevant Police and Crime Commissioner and may include a town or community council precept. In Scotland, the Scottish Government sets a framework within which the 32 councils set their rates.

Rates shown are the Band D equivalent for the billing authority. For households in areas with parish or town councils, a separate precept is added to the bill. Each council page shows how many parish and town councils sit in that area and how many set a precept for 2026/27.
