How much is Council Tax Band D in Oxford?
Oxford City Council Band D Council Tax for 2026/27 is approximately £2,530, once the Oxfordshire County Council, Thames Valley Police and Oxfordshire Fire precepts are added to the district charge.
Full answer
Oxford sits within Oxfordshire, a two-tier county, so the Band D bill combines several precepts: Oxford City Council's own charge (~£320), Oxfordshire County Council (~£1,850, the largest share), Thames Valley Police (~£270) and Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue (~£90) -- total around £2,530. This layered structure is typical of district areas within a two-tier county, and Oxfordshire's figure sits toward the higher end nationally partly reflecting the county council's social care cost pressures. Band multipliers apply the same way everywhere: A x0.667, B x0.778, C x0.889, D reference, E x1.222, F x1.444, G x1.667, H x2.000. Discounts: 25% single occupier discount, 100% exemption for full-time students, and Council Tax Reduction for low-income households via the local authority.
