Manchester City Council

The amount of Council Tax you have to pay depends on the valuation band your property is in and the number of people aged 18 or over living in your property. 

When we calculate your Council Tax we assume that two or more people, aged 18 or over, live in your property.

 

Valuation Band	Council Tax Charge for the Property 2010/11
A	£884.66
B	£1032.11
C	£1179.54
D	£1326.99
E	£1621.87
F	£1916.77
G	£2211.65
H	£2653.98

 

If your property is empty or only one person is counted for council tax purposes you may be entitled to a discount. Certain properties are also exempt for council tax.

How is the Council Tax Band calculated?

The Valuation Office Agency values every domestic property. Your Council tax is based on what your home would have sold for on 1 April 1991.

To determine the right band for your home they take into account the size, age, character and the locality of the property and information about what similar properties sold for on 1 April 1991

From that valuation your property is placed into one of eight valuation bands, A to H.

Valuation Band	Open market value at 1 April 1991
A	Not more than £40,000
B	£40,001 to £52,000
C	£52,001 to £68,000
D	£68,001 to £88,000
E	£88,001 to £120,000
F	£120,001 to £160,000
G	£160,000 to £320,000
H	More than £320,000
