Use our interactive map of Scotland to see how council tax levels are changing in every area – with differences of more than £300 a year on average between the highest and lowest.
You can click on any of the country’s 32 local authority areas to see the annual increase and compare next year with current charges across every property band, from A to H.
Rates have been set across the country for 2022-23, including increases between 2.5% and 3% across Tayside and Fife.
However, there are big differences in how councils are charging households in different areas.
The map shows those living in Angus pay on average more than £200 less than those living in Dundee.
The widest gap in the country sees Midlothian residents paying on average more than £300 extra a year compared with those in Shetland.
The national increases in council tax range between 1.95% and 3.5%, with only one council opting to freeze council rates rates for 2022-23.
In Dundee, residents face a 2.9% council tax increase, with a similar rise of 2.95% in Angus, 2.5% rise in Perth and Kinross and a 3% rise in Fife.
What services do councils provide?
Councils provide a range of vital public services including education, housing and planning.
Local authorities have to fund social care, roads and transport, bin collections, and economic development.
But financial pressures have left councils across Tayside and Fife looking for ways to balance the books.
Dundee City Council faced some difficult decisions, axing six unfilled social worker and support worker posts to save £210,000.
The local authority also closed three automated public toilets in Hilltown, Broughty Ferry and Lochee, saving £77,000.
In Perth and Kinross, cuts were made to primary school teacher places, waste services and to the criminal justice service.
People across Angus are going to have to pay more to use a range of council services in the coming months, as the council looks to raise cash to deliver public services.
£150 cashback promise
To offset a cost of living crisis, nearly two million households across Scotland will receive a separate £150 council tax rebate in April – not reflected in the charges set by every council in recent days.
Around 290,000 properties in Tayside and Fife will be in line for the credit, which applies to people in council tax bands A to D.
Councils will have a choice – they can either deliver a direct payment or a credit to council tax accounts for 2022-23.
Dundee council tax rise
Willie Sawers, finance spokesman at Dundee City Council, said the 3% council tax increase is as “restrained a response as we could make to the substantial economic impact of the pandemic”.
This is the first year local authorities had complete flexibility to set council tax rates since the SNP came to power in 2007.
Scottish Government Finance Secretary Kate Forbes announced she would give an extra £120 million to hard-pressed local councils in a bid to stop “inflation-busting” tax rises.
The extra cash is the equivalent of a 4% increase to council tax.
