Challenge your council tax band, and if they move it down, you could be inline for £1000's in refunds.

It could also go up, or your neighbours could go up to match yours.

Although there is a slight potential IIRC they can decide to adjust it upwards?!

Up to £58! I wish. How many contractors have a band D house?

Mine's D or E. IIRC when we moved up the road from a smaller house we went down from E to D.

Just calculated my taxes for 2015. 23% income tax overall. Including social deductions (NI) and health insurance, 29%. Last time I lived in the UK it was 52% - on considerably less.

Low taxes

Millions of households face council tax rises of up to £58 in biggest increase since 2008

Millions of families face council tax increases of up to £58 on Friday as local authorities across England take advantage of new powers from the Treasury.

Bills are set to rise by an average of 3.6 per cent outside London in what amounts to the largest council tax rise since 2008, according to the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA).

It comes after George Osborne allowed councils to charge an extra 2 per cent to fund social care on top of the 1.99 per cent rise already permitted without a local referendum.

Some 127 English councils have picked increases of close to the full 3.99 per cent for the next financial year, according to a survey by CIPFA.

Households outside London with average Band D homes will pay an average of £54 more next year as a result of the changes.
