How much council tax will you pay for a band c flat in reading?

Answer 1

In the Band B flat I live in within Reading Borough Council have to pay a crippling £115 every month this year up to April 2010 when rate is certain to go up a lot. I understand if my flat gets moved into Band C, which would be assessed if it is valued as having had a market value of above £68,000, my Council Tax would go up another 8.75% which would make it £122 per month = 1,464 per year. But it will depend on exactly what part of Reading your flat is in, as if it is within the area of West Berkshire Council, (that roughly means westward of Horncastle area) or else East Berks council (Earley and eastward thereof) these councils have lower rates than if your flat is within the area of Reading Borough Council where Council Tax rates are so extortionately high. If it is northward of Caversham Heights it could be within the area of South Oxon District Council and then rate would be even lower. It also depends on whether you will live in the flat by yourself in which case you could get 25% off the rate you have to pay per month. But if there will be more than one adult over 18 living in the flat you will then have to pay the full rate.
