Parish and Town Councils: Council Tax
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many (a) town and (b) parish councils have Band D council tax precepts above £100.
Answered by Jim McMahon
The Department publishes data on council tax for all local precepting authorities (parish and town councils, charter trustees and the Temples of London) which can be found on gov.uk here
Of the 8,911 local precepting authorities that set a precept for 2025-26, 1,563 authorities set the average Band D council tax at £100 or above.
