Tonbridge and Malling also charges special expenses in part of its area (£1,212,502 in all, £22.18 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.
