The amount of Council tax you pay depends on the valuation of your property. Each property has been valued and placed in one of nine Council Tax bands by the Valuation Office Agency, which is part of the Inland Revenue.
The valuation banding is based on the market value of the property as at 1 April 2003. The charge for each band is calculated as a multiple of the band D amount.
New Valuation Bands for Wales are as follows:
| Band A | up to £44,000 |
| Band B | £44,001 up to £65,000 |
| Band C | £65,001 up to £91,000 |
| Band D | £91,001 up to £123,000 |
| Band E | £123,001 up to £162,000 |
| Band F | £162,001 up to £223,000 |
| Band G | £223,001 up to £324,000 |
| Band H | £324,001 up to £424,000 |
| Band I | £424,001 and above |
You can find out the Council Tax band of your property by visiting the Valuation Office website.
How is my Council Tax calculated?
Your Council Tax Bill is made up of 3 elements:
- Caerphilly County Borough Council precept
- Police Authority precept
- Community Council precept
The gross charge is the sum of the above 3 elements, although some areas do not have a Community Council in which case the charge will consist of the Borough Council and Police Authority precepts only.
Listed in the document is a breakdown of the Council Tax charges applicable for the financial year 2010-2011. Previous two years are available on the right hand side for comparisons.
