Council tax warning as bills could rise by up to 25% to prevent bankruptcies
Referendum
A local council has warned that it would need to raise its council tax bills by up to 25% to prevent bankruptcy . The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) have proposed a 25% hike to its council tax bills as part of its new budget plans for 2025-26. This is over 20% more than the 5% they can legally inrease it without a referendum. This is a rise of 3% plus 1.99% if the council provides adult social care. However, councils are able to request higher hikes in exceptional circumstances.
