How much is Council Tax Band D in Inverness?
The Highland Council Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is approximately £2,255, including the Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service precepts.
Full answer
Inverness is covered by The Highland Council, so the Band D bill combines the council's own charge (~£1,945), Police Scotland (~£200) and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (~£110) -- total around £2,255. Scottish councils set their own Band D rate each year, and the Scottish Government has at times capped or frozen increases, so the year-on-year rise can differ noticeably from England and Wales. Scottish Band multipliers differ from those south of the border for the lowest bands (A is 6/9 of Band D rather than 2/3), reflecting the 1990s revaluation used in Scotland. Discounts: 25% single occupier discount, 100% exemption for full-time students, and Council Tax Reduction for low-income households via the local authority.
