💨 Abstract

"Council tax in the UK is set to rise by up to 5% annually, pending approval, to support social care costs. A Band D household could pay an extra £395 by 2028 if increases continue. Options to reduce bills include checking for discounts and verifying home bandings. The government is consulting on easing payment schedules, extending grace periods for missed payments, and simplifying the process for challenging tax bands."
