How your Council Tax is calculated

The Council Tax for Thanet District Council is worked out by looking at what money is needed to run the services we provide, based on what we have set as our budget for the coming year.

The total amount of Council Tax we need to collect is identified as the difference between the budget we need and the money we already have to spend on services. This is shown in the table below:
