How council tax works in Basingstoke & Deane
Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council sends one bill that covers its own services and, where they apply, amounts collected for other bodies such as the police, fire service, county council or combined authority. The Band D figure is the reference point: every other band is a fixed fraction of it, so Band A pays 66.7% of Band D and Band H pays 200%.
Most councils let you pay over 10 monthly instalments, and you can usually ask to spread it over 12. Discounts and exemptions can cut the bill: for example, a 25% single person discount if you are the only adult living in the home, and reductions for students, carers and people on low incomes. Check with Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council for the schemes it runs.
If you think your home is in the wrong band, you can ask the Valuation Office Agency to review it. A review can move a band down, but it can also move it up.
