Calculating your Council Tax
The amount you have to pay depends on three main factors:
- The amount of money needed by South Cambridgeshire District Council, Cambridgeshire County Council (This link will open in a new window), Cambridgeshire Police Authority (This link will open in a new window), Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fire Authority (This link will open in a new window)and the Parish Council to pay for the services they provide.
- The valuation band of your property.
- Whether you are entitled to any help with paying your bill though the Council Tax Benefit scheme or any discount or exemption under the council tax legislation due to your own personal circumstances.
Bands other than band D
| Valuation Band | Range of values | Proportion of Band D tax payable |
|---|---|---|
| A | Up to and inc. £40,000 | 6/9 |
| B | £40,001 - £52,000 | 7/9 |
| C | £52,001 - £68,000 | 8/9 |
| D | £68,001 - £88,000 | 1 |
