Actually, you can do an exact calculation, as the council tax band ratio is the same everywhere in the country.
Everyone's council tax is calculated related to band D in their area. If D is 1000, then A is 6/9 of that (670 ish), B is 7/9, C is 8/9, E is 11/9, F is 13/9, G is 15/9, and H is 18/9 (twice band D).
So, going from a band B to a band C is simple to calculate, if you are staying in the same local authority.
C/B = (8/9) / (7/9) = 8/7 .
So your council tax will go up by around 1/7, or 14%.Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0 -
If you go to the voa website www.voa.org.uk you will be able to find the council tax bands & relevant payments for any borough in the uk.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0
