Council Tax is the process by which people contribute to their local services. It is a domestic tax that replaced the Community Charge (Poll Tax) after 1st April 1993.
With Council Tax, only one bill is sent to each household. Only people aged 18 and over are liable to pay. The amount to pay is dependent on the value of the property and the number of adults living in it.
