My Council tax bill has just decreased..just got the letter...

It's gone down by £3.24!

LMAO, can't believe the waste of money in sending me a new bill, rearranging mu direct debits....

With that and the other house households in Surrey I bet that's quite a waste....

Wow £3.24 for a year wonder what I can do with it!

Mine will be going up, my borough Harringey, invested 5% of its budget in iceland. So I expect a nice big increase in April.

I have never known council tax to actually go down. I am pretty sure last year we were supposed to be reassured because the increase was 'only' 3%.

I am pretty sure that a 3% increase per year equates to a doubling over a decade or so. Can somebody who is good at maths confirm that?
