Figures EXCLUDE water and sewerage charges, which appear on the same bill but are set by Scottish Water — a real Scottish bill is higher than the council tax figure shown. Band D is the published official figure (Scottish Government, Council Tax datasets — Band D rates by year (2026-27)); other bands are derived from the statutory proportions (Local Government Finance Act 1992, s.5; Scottish E–H multipliers per SSI 2016/368) and rounded to the nearest pound, so your bill statement may differ by pence. Annual charges for 2026/27; rates last verified 4 July 2026.
