How is council tax worked out for an NW2 property?
Council tax depends on your property's valuation band (A–H in England and Scotland, A–I in Wales) and the rates set by the local authority. Bands are fixed from 1991 values in England and Scotland and 2003 values in Wales, not today's price, so ask the seller or check the band on the official register (the Valuation Office Agency in England and Wales, the Scottish Assessors in Scotland).

Bands other than D are worked from the statutory ratios to Band D (A is 6/9 of D, H is 18/9). Where an authority has parish councils, their precepts differ from parish to parish and MHCLG's figure spreads them across the authority, so a bill can differ slightly.
