Council tax band

Neutral Neutral

What it really means

Every home is placed in a band from A (cheapest) to H (most expensive) based on its value, which decides how much council tax is due. You can check any address's band on GOV.UK before renting.

Chinese explanation

每套住宅根据价值被划入 A（最便宜）到 H（最贵）的等级，决定应缴的市政税金额。租房前可在 GOV.UK 查询任何地址的等级。

Example conversation

A: What band is the house in? B: Band B, so the council tax is fairly low.

A：这套房子是什么等级？ B：B级，所以市政税比较低。

What you could say back

“Thanks, I'll check the exact amount on the council's website.”
