Council Tax
Council Tax
Council Tax goes towards paying for Council services including education and social services. An additional charge is made by the Greater London Authority and this is collected by Kingston Borough Council in addition to the charge made for Council services.
The Council receives money from the government and income from Business Rates. However this is not enough to cover the cost of Council services. The difference is made up by the Council Tax you pay.
You may be entitled to help with your Council Tax payments, please see the link below to our Council Tax Benefit page for further information.
The law relating to Council Tax is contained within the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and subsequent Regulations.
