How Your Council Tax is Spent

The money collected through Council Tax is divided between the organisations and authorities that provide local services such as education, policing and rubbish collection - this includes:

  • your county council
  • your district/borough council
  • your police and crime commissioner
  • your fire authority (if applicable)
  • your parish or town council

Each financial year your local council prepares a guide to show exactly how your Council Tax is spent.
