What is Council Tax?
Council Tax is the way that Council's raise money to pay
for services such as refuse collection, education, social services,
libraries, planning, community safety, policing, fire and rescue
services and much more. Council Tax is a charge on domestic
dwellings for example houses, flats and bungalows.
