What is Council Tax (Scotland)?
Scottish council tax has 8 bands (A-H) based on 1991 property valuations. Unlike England, Scottish council tax includes water and sewerage charges in the same bill — there's no separate water bill. Single person discount is 25%. Council Tax Reduction is available for low-income households (up to 100% reduction). From April 2028, new bands may be introduced for properties valued over £1 million.
