Each year, parish and town councils set their precepts to cover their planned expenses for the next administrative year. Here (above) are the Band D total council tax rates for 2018/19 for each of the four local areas in our ward. I Include Oxford City and Abingdon for comparison.

Of the total council tax (rightmost column) Oxfordshire County gets £1426.19 per year. Thames Valley Police gets £182.80 per year, and  Vale gets £126.69 per year.
