IN the middle of the cost of living crisis, Powys residents will have to dig just that little bit deeper into their pockets from April, to pay the five per cent extra in their Council Tax bill.
At Powys County Council’s full council on Thursday, March 2 councillors met to formally set the Council Tax which is an annual legal requirement that’s needed before bills can start to be sent out to residents.
The budget had been voted through at a meeting on Thursday, February 23.
This means that the cost for an average Band D property will rise by £72.59 a year or and will be £1,524.45.
Earlier this year Dyfed-Powys Police approved a precept increase of 7.75 per cent which is an extra £22.49 for a Band D property.
This takes the annual cost up to £312.65 a year which needs to be added to the combined totals.
Here's what the rise means a band D property in your part of Powys will pay.
