What is Council Tax?
'''Council Tax''' is a local [[Tax|taxation]] system used in England, Scotland and Wales. It started in 1993 when [[Poll tax]] was stopped. Every home is put into a band (A to H) in England and Scotland or (A to I) in Wales depending on the value of it. It is collected by the [[local authority]]. There is only one band for homes valued (in 1991) above £320,000 in England. If only 1 person lives there they only have to pay 75% of the tax. Some homes and some people do not have to pay.<ref>{{Cite web|title=How Council Tax works|url=https://www.gov.uk/council-tax|access-date=2023-02-05|website=GOV.UK|language=en}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Taxation in the United Kingdom]]
