Here are the latest London council tax rates for the year 2010/11. Many councils have managed to freeze the council tax rates at the same rate as 2009/10. A couple have even managed to lower the rate.
The amount of London Council Tax that you have to pay, varies depending on which area of London you live in. There are 33 different council boroughs in London from Barnet & Dagenham to Wandsworth and they each set quite different rates for residents of their own borough.
For a full explanation on council tax and the different payment bands, please read our Council Tax in London article.

People moving to London from other parts of the UK will probably be acquainted with paying council tax, but for those who are moving to London from overseas, let’s help you get to grips with what council tax is.
Council tax is a compulsory tax that your pay on your property regardless of whether you’re renting or if you own it. If you’re from America, it’s quite similar to property tax. The money that you contribute towards council tax is spent on services such as the collection of rubbish, street cleaning, libraries and the maintenance of roads.
The amount of council tax that you pay in London is based on two factors. First of all, which council borough you live in and secondly the particular property ‘band’ that your accommodation falls under. These bands were created many years ago and properties were designated their bands, based on their current value at the time. If you believe that your property has been wrongly graded, it is possible to contact the Valuation Office Agency to speak to one of their advisors, but in general, you’re stuck with the band that your property has been given. Actually you should exercise caution when requesting the VOA to reassess your property band, as there have been cases where the property has been regraded into a higher, more expensive band. So, it’s important to speak to your neighbors, who have similar properties to you and check what band they fall under, before challenging the system.
There are 8 different bands graded from Band A, which is the cheapest to Band H which the most expensive and spacious properties fall under.
Council tax bills will be sent out at the beginning of the financial tax year, in April and you can either pay the full amount upfront or in 10 (not 12) monthly instalments, leaving you with February and March free. It is important that you pay on time though, as failure to do so will eventually result in receiving a court summons.
If you move in mid-year, you should inform your council immediately so that they know the correct start-date for your account and will adjust the amount that you owe, based on how long you’ve lived in the property for.
Whilst the council tax is generally compulsory, there are some people who can qualify for discounts. If all the members of the household are students, you’ll most likely not have to pay the tax. You will need to prove to the council that you’re all students by getting your college or university to write a letter for each of you, stating that you’re in full-time education.
However, if your household is mixed with students and non-students, you may be eligible for a 25% discount. Contact your particular council for further details.
For the 2009/10 year, the cheapest council tax in London is found in the council borough of Wandsworth, with Westminster following in a very close second place. Unusually, as London is the most expensive place in the UK, these council boroughs are the cheapest in the whole of the country.
