Council tax is an important part of the financing of Local Government and other local services. The money raised by council tax is used to make up the difference between the funding supplied by Central government and the money required by Bassetlaw District Council to supply all of the services needed by the inhabitants of Bassetlaw. It was brought into effect on the 1 April 1993 and replaced the Community Charge system.

Council Tax is a tax levied by the local authority. It is payable by the person permanently resident at the property. The amount of tax due is calculated on a sliding scale that reflects the property’s value. The Council Tax Bands run alphabetically from A to H, with H being the highest.

Council Tax is a locally set property based tax that also takes into account the number of adults living in the Household. It was introduced in April 1993 to replace Community Charge (or Poll Tax). It is collected to pay for local services such as schools, roads, libraries, police, fire service and refuse collection. Only approximately 12% of the Council Tax you pay is retained by St Albans District Council with the remainder paid over to the County Council, Fire Service, Police Authority and the Parish Councils.
