| | Council tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Council Tax is criticised for perceived unfairness in not taking into account the ability to pay (see regressive taxation). | | | Council Tax is divided into a number of components. | | | Although it is the only tax which is set by local government, the Council Tax contributes only a small proportion (25%, on average) of local government revenue. |

| | The Observer Cash How much worse can the council tax get? |
| | Land value tax is being suggested as a tax that reflects investment in transport, schools and the local infrastructure (www.landvaluetax.org). | | | Other council tax payers are likely to find their bills dropping, as the government has promised that the revaluation process will not increase revenue. | | | Council tax bills include charges from a range of bodies, not just the authority that sends the bill. |

| | Cherwell District Council - Council Tax |
| | The level of tax depends upon the value of the property, as decided by the Valuation Officer. Each property is allocated to one of eight valuation bands, A to H, where band H is the most expensive and pays the most tax. | | | The Budget and Council Tax section details how your money is spent in Cherwell and what local services are being provided by the Council for the coming year. | | | Council tax for Cherwell raises approximately £5.5m, which pays for about 25% of the cost of the local services we provide, such as refuse collection, street cleansing, homelessness, planning, sports and recreation. The rest comes from Government Grant (£9.5m) and income from our investments (£5m). |

| | Council Tax in Scotland: Valuation and Banding |
| | The council tax bill for any dwelling will depend on the valuation band in which the dwelling is placed, the tax levels set by the local authorities for the area and the personal circumstances of the people normally living there. | | | Because the council tax banding has been based on property prices at I April 1991, any increase or fall in the value of a dwelling resulting from any general change in the housing market will not be taken into account. | | | On 1 April 1993, the council tax replaced the community charge (or "poll tax") as the way people contribute to the cost of local services. |
