In General:
The London boroughs are administrative centres responsible for collecting local taxes (Council Tax and Business Rates) and then spending the funds received on local services. They are run by Borough Councils who are elected by borough residents on a four year cycle. The totals that they spend will depend on the rates of tax that they levy plus funds allocated from central government and other sources.

While many of the services (schools, roads, planning, rubbish collection and social services) are standard, levels of provision will vary according to the overall political will as expressed by the voters.

Your tax liability (as a resident) will be based on the council tax band of your home. These bands are set by Valuation Officers and there is scope for appeal. The rate bands are then used to determine the amounts of tax levied. So, while the bands will remain largely constant the levels of tax can go up and, in theory, down.

You may claim discounts or exemptions based on your circumstances. For example, as the only adult in a property you can get a 25% reduction on your bill. Other reductions are available for qualifying second adults and Council Tax Benefit claimants.

There is more information available at the HM Customs & Excise website.

London Borough of Newham Comments

Never in the running as one of London's most exciting boroughs, yet with the arrival of the Jubilee line, Newham could provide a great opportunity for those seeking the next London property hotspot. Quick and effortless journeys into both the City and Docklands and some of the cheapest property prices in London make a powerful argument for a positive future for the borough.

Newham stretches from Stratford in the north to the industrial Thames dockside at north Woolwich. Forest Gate and Manor Park provide a more suburban setting whilst East Ham, West Ham and Plaistow maintain a true East End feel.
