Full answer
Newport City Council's Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is approximately £1,915, including the Gwent Police precept and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service precept, sitting toward the lower end of the roughly £1,750 to £2,300 range across Wales' 22 unitary authorities for 2026/27 -- lower than Cardiff (~£1,964) or Swansea (~£2,029). Wales has used a nine-band system since the 2003 revaluation: bands A to I, with Band D as the reference point and Band I set at 21/9 of Band D. Multipliers: A x6/9, B x7/9, C x8/9, D reference, E x11/9, F x13/9, G x15/9, H x18/9, I x21/9. Discounts: 25% single occupier discount, 100% exemption for full-time students, a disabled band reduction (moving the property down one band), and the Welsh Council Tax Reduction Scheme for low-income households, administered consistently across all 22 Welsh councils.
