Bands and charges
Check your Council Tax band, how much you need to pay and what to do if you think it's wrong.
Every residential property has a Council Tax band ranging from band A (the lowest) to band H (the highest). It's based on the value of your property from 1 April 1991.
The HMRC's Valuation Office Agency (VOA) decides on the bands, not Southwark Council.
The amount of Council Tax you have to pay depends on:
-
which band your property is in
-
how much we charge for that band
Your band may change if:
-
you make alterations to your home
- a similar property in the area has been changed to a different band
You can:
- check your Council Tax band on GOV.UK
- challenge your Council Tax band on GOV.UK if you think it's wrong
If the VOA agree your band is wrong they'll put it right. We'll then update your Council Tax bill.
You must continue paying your bill while your challenge is being considered.
