Council Tax payment is the responsibility of owner-occupiers or, if rented the Landlords and tenants, private tenants/Local Council and housing association tenants.

Council Tax is also due on unoccupied furnished and unfurnished houses in certain circumstances. This booklet explains discounts on occupied and empty houses on page 8.

The amount of Council Tax for each household depends on the valuation band a properly has been placed in by the Government's Valuation Office Agency.  About half of the Council Tax payers in Bassetlaw live in Band A properties.

Police, fire and local council services are paid for by Council Tax and Government grants, and in some cases, through charges for services. Council Tax is based on property values and, in this area, is collected by Bassetlaw District Council on behalf of all four organisations.

This chart breaks down how much of £100 is used by the different organisations.  These figures exclude parish charges.
