Welcome to London’s most attractive borough, which for hundreds of years has been a favourite retreat of Royalty, the rich and the famous. The River Thames runs through the heart of the borough for 21 miles linking Hampton Court Palace, Richmond town centre and Kew Gardens with central London. With stunning Royal parks and historic houses, theatres, museums and galleries rich with exhibits and town centres bursting with shops and restaurants, Richmond upon Thames rivals anywhere in London.
LOCAL COUNCIL INFORMATION:
Guide to Council Tax in Richmond area
Council Tax is worked out by your local
council who sets the Council Tax rates for each year. The amount
you have to pay depends on the value of your property and the current
rates for your local council.
Each year, every local authority will set a rate of council
tax for each valuation band. Not everyone will have to
pay the full amount of council tax.
Three ways
in which your council tax bill may be reduced:
- the reduction scheme for disabled people
- discounts (ie If only one person lives in a property they will get a 25% discount
on the council tax bill)
- council tax benefit and second adult rebate
