§ Mr. RichardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discretion councils will have to make differential increases in the council tax applicable to each valuation band.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesNone.
The council tax for each of the eight valuation bands will be determined in accordance with a fixed ratio: thus the council tax for a dwelling in band A will be two thirds of that for a dwelling in band D. The ratio is set out in section 5(1) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
