Mines Band D and mine is £95 a month but that with the discount for single occupancy. And the bill this year is exactly the same as last year as it came through this morning. The one bill I really object to paying but at least it hasn't gone up.

It's a tax.

Not remotely the same

Its a tax on Services provided by the local authorities Yes

Charge for Council Tax is based on Capital value of property

Charge for Poll Tax was based on the number of people in a property

Entirely different

It certainly isnt the same. Under the Poll Tax EVERONE paid & thats the fairest way as we all use the services. Under Council Tax the Householder pays.

Mines £195 a month + water

Errr, read it again boys. I said it's a tax, and no matter what they call it it's still tax.

How it's calculated is academic. It's tax.
