Revised details of the level of council tax set by local authorities in England for 2012-13 were announced on 9 May 2012.

Council tax can be measured in ‘Band D’ or in ‘per dwelling’ terms. Band D has historically been used as the standard for comparing council tax levels between and across local authorities, as this measure is not affected by the varying distribution of properties in bands that can be found across authorities. Additionally, the number of Band D equivalent dwellings are collected at around the same time that the council tax levels are set by the local authority, whereas the ‘per dwelling’ calculation uses chargeable dwellings figures that are captured some five months in advance of setting council tax levels. The Band D measure therefore better reflects the latest position.

This data set shows council tax data it has been taken from LG Inform http://lginform.local.gov.uk/ This data shows council tax, average charge per chargeable dwelling. This is the total council tax payable in an area divided by the total number of chargeable dwellings in the area. The total amount of council tax is the sum of the amounts requested: a) by the billing authority; b) by major precepting authorities covering the billing authority's area The amount at c) is the total amount requested by parish and town councils, averaged across the whole of the billing authority's area. The average council tax per dwelling is generally lower than the average Band D council tax. This is mainly because, in England as a whole, bands A to C account for almost two-thirds of all dwellings. Source name: Communities and Local Government Collection name: Council tax

This dataset shows the average Band D council tax amount charged by each billing authority and county council in England. Billing authorities comprise shire districts, unitary authorities, metropolitan districts and London boroughs.

The information was collected on the Council Tax Requirement forms submitted by all billing and major precepting authorities to DCLG. Statistical releases giving full details of council tax for each year can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/council-tax-statistics. Parish precepts are amounts raised by parishes to fund their activities and added to council tax bills by the billing authority.

Background All current UK indices of socio-economic status have inherent problems, especially those used to govern resource allocation to the health sphere. The search for improved markers continues: this study proposes and tests the possibility that Council Tax Valuation Band (CTVB) might match requirements. Presentation of the hypothesis To determine if there is an association between CTVB of final residence and mortality risk using the death registers of a UK general practice. Testing the hypothesis Standardised death rates and odds ratios (ORs) for groups defined by CTVB of dwelling (A – H) were calculated using one in four denominator samples from the practice lists. Analyses were repeated three times – between number of deaths and CTVB of residence of deceased 1992 – 1994 inclusive, 1995 – 1997 inc., 1998 – 2000 inc. In 856 deaths there were consistent and significant differences in death rates between CTVBs: above average for bands A and B residents; below average for other band residents. There were significantly higher ORs for A, B residents who were female and who died prematurely (before average group life expectancy). Implications of the hypothesis CTVB of final residence appears to be a proxy marker of mortality risk and could be a valuable indicator of health needs resource at household level. It is worthy of further exploration.

The average weekly expenditure per household on mortgage interest payments and council tax in the UK was ***** British pounds as of year-end 2023. It can be seen that households spent an average of **** British pounds per week on council tax (domestic rates). Furthermore, households stated that they spent far less (on average *** British pounds) per week on mortgage protection premiums at that time.

The effects of direct and indirect taxation and benefits received in cash or kind on household income, across the generations and by age.

This data is estimated by combining multiple years of the Living Costs and Food Survey from 1978 to financial year ending March 2017 and the Household Finances Statistics, from financial year ending 2018 to financial year ending 2021 with the exception of 1979 and 1981. All financial amounts are adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) excluding Council Tax, to their financial year ending March 2018. For example, the mean disposable income for those aged 35 and born in the 1970’s (£35,752) is estimated by taking the average (in real terms) of the household disposable income for these people across the combined dataset.

The average time taken in calendar days to process all new claims and change events in Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit.
