Council Tax
For information about your Council Tax rebate you must contact your local borough council.
Council Tax helps pay for local services, and applies to all domestic properties whether owned or rented. How much you pay depends on the valuation band of your property and the responsibility to pay Council Tax usually lies with the occupier.
Each organisation that provides services in your area sets their own proportion of the Council Tax bill you receive. These are:
- Kent County Council
- your borough council
- your parish council (if you have one)
- Kent Police
- Kent Fire and Rescue Service
