It also shows the tax base for each garden, the garden charge at Band D, and the total council tax at Band D including the garden charge.

2. Empty property premium charge
If your property has been left unoccupied and unfurnished for two years or more, from 1 April 2019, you will be charged an additional 100 per cent of the full Council Tax charge. This means you will pay 200 per cent Council Tax.

3. The Greater London Authority
This year the GLA is charging £320.51 for each Band D property. The GLA’s share of the council tax for a typical Band D property has been increased by £26.28 (or 50p per week) to £320.51. The additional income raised according to the GLA will fund the Metropolitan Police and the London Fire Brigade. Council taxpayers in the City of London, which has its own police force, will pay £78.38.
