council tax
Local government fee
Council tax is a local tax levied on residential properties in the United Kingdom, used to fund local government services like rubbish collection, police, and schools.
The amount owed depends on the property's valuation band: Our council tax went up again this year.
Replaced the poll tax in 1993.
