Note for Scottish households: water and waste water are extraThe figures above are the council tax portion only. Scottish residents also pay Scottish Water and Waste Water charges as part of their council tax bill, which adds approximately £650 at Band D (2026/27 rates). These charges are collected by your local authority on behalf of Scottish Water and shown as separate line items on your bill. Your total annual bill will therefore be higher than the council tax figures shown here. See Scottish Water charges for the exact amounts.
