Your bill shows the Council Tax band that has been allocated to your property by the Valuation Office Agency.
Properties liable for both taxes
Properties in mixed use, known as composite properties, will have a rateable value to reflect their non-domestic part, and a band to reflect their domestic part. Composite properties are liable to pay both taxes, albeit on different parts, and so appear on both the valuation and rating lists for the borough.
Inspecting the lists
The Council Tax valuation list and rating list may be inspected at the Valuation Office Agency's website.
