How much is your council tax?

[Mojooo]

I live in a band A property and so the council tax is just under £1000.

Before today I hadn't really thought about the fact that

a) different councils charge different amounts

b) there are different bands

To be in the top band your house had to have been worth 320k in 1991 which would make it almost 1 million today (if the online calculator I used was accurate). Having said that due to the crazy way prices rose up I am guessing that actually the number of houses in that band is far less than the number of £1m+ houses in the UK. I think the avg tax band is D and is approx £1500.

Now whilst I am not a council tax hater like most of you lot, £1000 is a fairly sweet number but 3000 has got to hurt.

Now whilst I do enjoy the fact others are subsidising me it does feel a bit unfair.

What do you think on this issue? (but lets try to avoid slagging off our Council too much eh)

Dont forget we pay for the rozzers with council tax, so we pay for speed enforcement, hehe
