They pay 'rates'

Some people throughout the UK refer to CT as 'rates' as that's what it used to be called / was referred to years ago, before poll tax.

A quick Google suggests this is more just a question of what they call this sort of charge, rather using the term rates. For example:

And your question is ?

NI, Scotland and Wales did their own thing with the funds allocated.
