    Month by month - we get 2 'free' months in Feb/March I think?

    Band C - £135 a month.

    Same here. Also coincides with 2 months without paying for water, so a little bit of a 'holiday' every Spring.

    Up here in Scotland , CT includes water and sewerage, so it is high.
    We are in the top band (G?H?) and pay over 10 months @ £307 per month. (2 people) It is our biggest expense each month.
  • Band A £1100 per year over 10 months. I like the two months payment 'holiday' in Feb and March

    We pay month by month and it's £681 a year (band D).

    My local council is £1306 for band D. Are you sure yours is only 681 as even with a 25% discount mine would come nowhere near close to yours.

    My Band A house is £725/year and we pay over 10 months so there are 2 months where there's a bit more money in our household budget :)

    They could live in Wandsworth or Westminster. They both have the lowest council tax in the country.
