Council tax

Watford Borough Council is the ‘billing authority.’ This means we collect council tax for Hertfordshire County Council, Hertfordshire Police Authority as well as for ourselves.

Council Tax

The council also collects National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) from Watford businesses which this year (2007/08) will be around £60.2 million.This money goes to a central government pool.The money is then redistributed to councils across the country on the basis of their population.

For 2007/08 out of every pound you pay in council tax - just 17p goes to Watford Borough Council, 9p goes to Hertfordshire Police and 74p goes to Hertfordshire County Council.
