Council tax overpaying?

Hey, Im moving house so I was checking council tax bands to see how much more I would be paying. So my current house is band a, new house is band c, when I did my calculations I realised I'm already paying band c even though my property shows up as band a. Have I been paying too much? Has anyone had the same issue?

What have the council said?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I haven't checked yet as I've only just found this out. Plus I don't want to cause an issue for my neighbours if they aren't paying enough?0

You're going to have to tell them if you want it sorting.
What band does your current bill say?
It may not affect your neighbours, it could just be a mistake on your bill.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Yes I know and I will, just wanted to make sure I am right about paying to much. Where do I find where it says my band on my bill? (my bills are all online and not sent to me)0

I got it, it's says a! But it's a different amount to what it says band a is online?0

you can double check on here what it should be:

But if you're being overcharged then your next step has to be to check with the council to see if its a clerical error and someone's just hit the wrong button.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

You can check which band your property is in online here

Your local council website will show the actual charge associated with that band (if you are living by yourself, multiply by 0.75 to take account of the single person discount).0 -
Thank you @elsien for being so helpful! Turns out where I live I'm being charged the right amount 🙈 god damn lol. Exactly what I wanted the advice for. Thank you again.0
