Not Council Tax Guide: What This Page Means
“Not Council Tax” is not an official council name. For this article, it is treated as a short or mistyped search for Nottingham Council Tax because the official council tax result, bands, rates, payment and contact pages match Nottingham City Council.
If you live in Nottingham City, use Nottingham City Council’s official Council Tax pages for bills, payments, discounts, reductions, changes of details and unpaid Council Tax help.
If you meant “not liable for Council Tax” or “not Council Tax but Business Rates”, use GOV.UK or your local council to check liability before ignoring a bill. A Council Tax bill should not be ignored just because the wording or liability looks confusing.
Pay safely
Use the official Nottingham online payment page, automated payment line, Direct Debit or official bank payment details only.
Check rates
Nottingham publishes 2026/27 rates from Band A to Band H, with Band D listed as £2,755.39.
Ask for help early
If you cannot pay, check support, discounts and unpaid Council Tax routes before reminders become more serious.

What makes up the Nottingham bill?
Nottingham’s 2026/27 bill includes Nottingham City Council, Police and Crime Commissioner, and Fire and Rescue Authority elements.
Why your bill may not match the rate table
Your exact bill may include Single Person Discount, Council Tax Support, exemptions, arrears, credits or a moving-home adjustment.
Nottingham Council Tax Discounts, Reductions, Exemptions and Support
Nottingham City Council has official routes for Council Tax discounts, reductions, exemptions and Council Tax Support. These can reduce the amount you need to pay if your household or income situation qualifies.
Single Person Discount
If only one adult is counted at the property, you may be able to apply for a discount.
Council Tax Support
If income is low or benefits changed, check Nottingham’s Council Tax Support route.
Other exemptions
Students, severe mental impairment, empty homes and disregarded adults may have different rules.
1
Open Nottingham discounts and reductions
Choose the correct official route.
▾
Start from Nottingham’s Council Tax hub and choose “Council Tax Discounts and Reductions” or “Apply for Council Tax Support”.
Official hub: Nottingham Council Tax
2
Check Council Tax Support if income is low
Do this before arrears grow.
▾
If your income dropped, work hours changed, benefits changed or your household situation changed, apply for support as early as possible. Keep proof of income, benefits and household details ready.
3
Report household changes quickly
Old discounts can become backdated debt.
▾
If another adult moves in, a student leaves, someone turns 18, income changes or an exemption no longer applies, report the change through Nottingham’s official change-of-details route.
