No £150 if your band E

How is that fair do the government presume that band E have plenty money ????

You probably have a lovely expensive house, so every cloud and all that.

Emmajones very judgemental !! I am a pensioner on State pension Our council has one of the higher bands. I do not live in a mansion lol…

I live in a Band E house which I have spent 20 years paying for it. Guy down the road lives in a band D  and can afford to buy a New 40K every year! He will get the £150 and I wont so how is that fair!

I already pay £500 a year more in Council Tax than him anyway!

My point exactly just because the councils band differently. Who in the government thought up this ridiculous scheme that excludes band E as if were all rich !!

I had my neighbours complaining recently that they'd been re-banded from a C to an E following improvements (comparing their house to mine which they said was bigger, truth is E is probably right for them and I should be an F!). I'm steering well clear of them now given this latest news!

Improvements like extensions don't cause the band to increase, unless the property has been sold since the improvements. See:

The way to save money seems obvious then.
