Your bill next year: the council’s three options

The council’s report to Cabinet on 12 October 2026 sets out three options for 2027/28. Nothing is decided yet. For the band you picked above:

Band D: the whole council tax bill in 2027/28 under each of the council’s options
Band D	Whole bill a year	Extra a year	Extra a week	Still to find
This year	£1,519.51	–	–	–
Council’s share +100%	£2,554.04	£1,034.53	£19.89	£46.1m
Council’s share +125%	£2,806.29	£1,286.78	£24.75	£20.6m
Council’s share +150%	£3,058.54	£1,539.03	£29.60	balances

The options are rises in the council’s own share of the bill, £1,009.00 of this year’s £1,519.51 at Band D. The whole bill also pays the Mayor of London, whose share the report assumes rises 5%. “Still to find” is what each option leaves of the council’s forecast gap by 2030/31, if council tax then rises 5% a year. Council Tax Support and other discounts would lower some bills; nothing is decided yet.

sourcedThe options: the council's report to Cabinet, 12 October 2026, Tables 7 to 9; other bands by the statutory ratios
