The Council Tax is a system of local taxes introduced in 1993 in England, in Scotland and in Galles to finance the part of the services given by local administrations such as garbage collection, green care, etc. The base of the taxes are the residential real estate, with discounts for some types of people (singles, students, pensioners, etc.).
Substantially it is about the tax that is paid by the tenant and not by the owner of the house. The Council Tax is different based on the area of London where you live and based on the greatness of the immobile. In each zone there is a Local Council that establishes to which class the property belongs and the relative expense that they incur. The tax is on an annual basis, but it is paid in monthly installments.
HOW IT IS CALCULATED
First of all, it starts with the evaluation of your house or apartment. Each housing space is inserted in a certain class. Classes are differentiated by alphabetic letters from A (the least expensive) to H.
Next we will show you the table of the evaluations of the house with the relative classes to which it belongs
- up to £ 40,000
- from £ 40,000 up to £ 52,000
- from £ 52,000 to £ 68,000
- from £ 68,000 up to £ 88,000
- from £ 88,000 up to £ 120,000
- from £ 120,000 up to £ 160,000
- from £ 160,000 to £ 320,000
- greater than £ 320,000
An annual fee payable corresponds to each class. The exact amount of each class can be modified in the case in which one is in the condition of obtaining a discount, such as being a student who goes to classes daily, have less than 20 years, etc.
