About Band D — the reference band
Band D is the statutory reference point for Council Tax. Every council sets its Band D rate annually in February, and the bills for all other bands are calculated from it using fixed ratios set by central government. The ratios have not changed since Council Tax was introduced in 1993.
Liverpool's 2025/26 Band D rate of £1,874.00 means a Band A household pays £1,249.00 — two-thirds of Band D — while a Band H household pays £3,748.00, exactly double Band D.
Your property's band was determined by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) based on what it would have sold for on 1 April 1991. Most properties in England have not been re-assessed since then.
