💨 Abstract

Council tax in England is increasing by £2.1 billion this year, with the average Band D property seeing a £109 rise. However, local authorities vary significantly, with Birmingham facing the biggest overall increase and Windsor and Maidenhead residents being hit hardest. Some councils have been granted permission to exceed the 5% cap. Elsewhere, Welsh and Scottish taxpayers can expect rises of up to 9.5%
