The amount of Council Tax you pay depends on which band your property is in.
The total bill is made up of two elements – the Richmond element, which we set, and the Greater London Authority element, which is set by the GLA.
As part of the Provisional Local Government Finance Settlement 2018/19 the Secretary of State offered local authorities with adult social care responsibilities the option of increasing Council Tax by up to 2.99% plus a further increase of up to 3% (provided such an increase does not exceed a total of 6% over the three year period to 2019/20) which must be spent on protecting adult social care. For 2018/19, we opted to increase by 2.0% for adult social care and 1.99% for general expenditure, making an overall increase of 3.99%.
Combining this with the increase in the Greater London Authority element of 5.07%, the overall Council Tax payable for 2018/19 has increased by 4.17%.
