Council tax and 'banding'

Looking into council tax and property 'banding' is there somewhere that describes the criteria for the bands? And lists the council tax charges for 2011? I'd like an indication for a 2 bed flat worth around £500-600k today, in either Islington, Tower Hamlets, The City, Westminster or Camden.

  • Council Tax bands are produced on the assumed value of the property as at 1st April 1991. Even if your property was built after this time. So the value of a flat today @ £500k would be back dated to it's value in 1991 to establish which band it should fall within. The bands are as follows :- Band A - £0 - £40k Band B - £40,001 - £52,000 Band C - £52,001 - £68,000 Band D - £68,001 - £88,000 Band E - £88,001 - £120,000 Band F - £120,001 - £160,000 Band G - £160,001 - £320,000 Band H - £320,000 and above http://www.voa.gov.uk/corporate/CouncilTax/howYourHomeIsbanded.html#bands useful link for more info.
