Council tax provides funding for local authority services such
as rubbish collection, road maintenance and social services. It is
payable on domestic properties, whether owned or rented, and is
generally proportionate to the property size. On these pages you
will find information about billing, discounts, payments and
exemptions.
The City of London is responsible for all aspects of making and
administering council tax in the Square Mile. However, it has
appointed Liberata UK Ltd to collect council tax on its behalf.
