Definition and caveats

The council tax set for a Band D dwelling by each Scottish council for the financial year, as reported to the Scottish Government on the Council Tax Assumptions return, excluding the water and sewerage charges Scottish Water bills alongside it.

Doesn’t measure: The bill on any particular dwelling: most dwellings are not in Band D, single-person discounts and the Council Tax Reduction scheme lower many bills, and water and sewerage charges are additional. It is not comparable with the English Band D figure, which includes police, fire and parish precepts.
