How we calculate your Council Tax bill
This is how we calculate your 2019 to 2020 Council Tax bill
We've based the figures below on a Band D property in Kirklees that has no parish precept to pay.
First let's look at the 2018 to 2019 figures
| 2018 to 2019 basic Council Tax rate | + 2018 to 2019 Adult Social Care contribution | = Total Council Tax for 2018 to 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| £1359.44 | + £106.33 | = £1465.77 |
We can now use these figures to work out the Council Tax increase for 2019 to 2020.
1. General increase for 2019 to 2020
| Council Tax for 2018 to 2019 | x General increase for 2019 to 2020 | = Council Tax general increase for 2019 to 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| £1465.77 | x 2.99% | = £43.82 |
2. Basic amount for 2019 to 2020
| Council Tax for 2018 to 2019 | + Council Tax general increase for 2019 to 2020 | - Adult Social Care contribution | = 2019 to 2020 basic Council Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| £1465.77 | + £43.82 | - £106.33 | = £1403.26 |
3. Adult Social Care (ASC)
Contributions started in 2016/17 and increased year on year up to 2018 to 2019.
For 2019 to 2020 there is no increase so remains the same: £106.33
There is a requirement to have a separate line on the bill to show the amount of Council Tax which is dedicated to the provision of ASC services.
4. Final bill for 2019 to 2020
| 2019 to 2020 basic Council Tax rate | + Adult Social Care contribution for 2019 to 2020 | + West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority contribution | + West Yorkshire Police Authority contribution | = 2019 to 2020 Council Tax bill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £1403.26 | + £106.33 | + £64.59 | + £186.95 | = £1761.13 |
