Council tax to skyrocket across the UK - check how much yours could rise by
23.02.2022 - 12:25 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
It has been confirmed that households across the UK will see their council tax skyrocket from April, further increasing the already steep cost of living.
Council tax could rise by as much as 5 per cent in some areas due to a 2 per cent council tax increase plus a 3 per cent increase for social care.
Theoretically, councils have the power to ask for more tax in their areas but a referendum with residents must be held first before this is implemented, the Mirror reports.

All new council tax rates start in the beginning of April to coincide with the new tax year - meaning the new bills will be seen in just a few weeks.
Councils will announce how much bills will go up by this April which will stay in force until march 2023.
Surrey County Council and Lincolnshire County Council have just approved separate 4.99 per cent rises, while Lancashire County Council will go up by 3.99 per cent.
West Sussex and Kent County Council have both proposed a 2.99 per cent hike, as have Suffolk County Council, Norfolk County Council and Liverpool Council.
East Sussex County Council has agreed to a 1.99 per cent council tax increase.
Your local council's new rates can be found on their respective website where they should have all the details available for your area.
The rate you’re charged for council tax depends on what council tax band your property is in.
Council tax bands are evaluated based on the value of your property - there are eight bands in England and Scotland which are as follows:
Band A – up to £40,000
Band B – £40,000 to £52,000
Band C – £52,000 to £68,000
Band D – £68,000 to £88,000
Band E – £88,000 to £120,000
Band F – £120,000 to £160,000
Band G – £160,000 to £320,000
Band H – property value over £320,000
