How much is council tax in Fife?

Band D for 2026‑27: £1,574 a year

Every other band is a fixed share of Band D, set in law. Band A is two thirds of it; band H is nearly two and a half times it.

BandA year
Band A£1,049
Band B£1,224
Band C£1,399
Band D£1,574
Band E£2,068
Band F£2,557
Band G£3,082
Band H£3,856

Band D is the average across the area, so a home's own bill can be a little different. Bands other than D are worked out by us from Band D and rounded to the pound. The figures do not include water and sewerage charges. A home's bill also takes off any discount, such as 25% for one adult living alone.
