Calculation of Council Tax
The Council Tax you pay helps to fund the services of Eden District Council, Cumbria County Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria. The total funding need for 2022/2023 is:
Authority | £'000 |
---|---|
Eden District Council | 4,182 |

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria | 5,878 |
Collection fund requirement | 43,097 |
To calculate Council Tax payable per property requires the calculation of the tax base (the number of properties against which we collect the tax. The Valuation Office has valued every property in Eden. Once valued, we allocate properties with one of the eight valuation bands (Bands A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H). We multiply each band by a given factor to bring it to the Band D equivalent. We multiply the total of the Band D equivalent by the declared collection rate, which for Eden is 99%, to give a Council Tax Base. The tax base for Eden for 2022/2023 is 20,832.44.
The total demand on tax payers (less Parish Precepts and Special Expenses) is £41,891,898. We divide this by the Tax Base to give the basic Band D tax of £2,010.90. We calculate each valuation band as a proportion of Band D as follows:
Band | Proportion | Tax £ |
Eden £ |
Police £ |
County £ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | 6 divided by 9 | 1,340.59 | 133.83 | 188.10 | 1,018.66 |
B | 7 divided by 9 | 1,564.04 | 156.14 | 219.45 | 1,188.45 |
C | 8 divided by 9 | 1,787.46 | 178.44 | 250.80 | 1,358.22 |
D | 9 divided by 9 | 2,010.90 | 200.75 | 282.15 | 1,528.00 |
E | 11 divided by 9 | 2,457.76 | 245.36 | 344.85 | 1,867.55 |
F | 13 divided by 9 | 2,904.63 | 289.97 | 407.55 | 2,207.11 |
G | 15 divided by 9 | 3,351.49 | 334.58 | 470.25 | 2,546.66 |
H | 18 divided by 9 | 4,021.80 | 401.50 | 564.30 | 3,056.00 |
