Council Tax

We are experiencing intermittent issues with online forms for both Council Tax and Benefits which we are currently working to resolve.

E-bill '17.9%' misprint advice

If you received an electronic Council Tax bill this year, then as per the covering email that was sent with it, please be advised that Worcestershire County Council's Band D council tax increase (including the adult social care component, which is no longer billed separately) was 4.99%, and not 17.9% as incorrectly stated. Sorry for any inconvenience this misprint has caused. It was owing to a technical system problem that we are now resolving. Read more about your Council Tax bill here.
