All Greater Manchester households will pay up to £40 a year more in council tax from April. Mayor Andy Burnham and the 10 council leaders in the city-region have now approved a 6 pc increase in the parts of the bill which go towards the police and the fire service – although some bits have been frozen.
Every household which does not receive council tax support or discounts will now pay at least £234.16 a year towards Greater Manchester-wide services.
But the largest share of the council tax bill will be set by each local authority. The annual increase will range from £13.33 to £40 depending on which council tax band each property falls into.
However, almost two-thirds of homes in Greater Manchester are either Band A or B properties which means most that households would be charged no more than an extra £15.56 over 12 months.
