Council tax

We collect council tax in the Wycombe district. The money collected is used to help provide the services run by us, Buckinghamshire County Council, Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service, Thames Valley Police and local parish councils.

The amount of council tax set each year depends on how much these public bodies spend and how much they get from elsewhere. The amount you have to pay also depends on which valuation band your home is placed in and your household circumstances.

If you are on a low income, you might qualify for benefits to help you pay your council tax. More about benefits.

Data sharing and fraud prevention

We have a duty to protect the public funds we administer. We may use the information you provide to our council tax team for the prevention and detection of fraud. We may also share this information with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds. For more information see our fair processing notice.
