Not sure of your band?
We cannot look up individual homes. The Valuation Office Agency checker on GOV.UK gives the band for any address in Merton.
Merton is small: its tax base is 52 Band D-equivalent homes, so a modest change in the precept moves the charge per home a lot. It is left out of the parish rankings.
Breckland also charges special expenses in part of its area (£95,018 in all, £1.97 per Band D home on average across the council). The parish and no-parish figures here leave them out, because the statistics do not say which areas pay them, so where they apply the bill is higher. The council's own bill shows them.
