Notes
- Council tax is set each March for the year from April, so the latest year is the one in progress. The average covers the county or county borough council, the police and crime commissioner and, where there is one, the community council, averaged over Wales's 22 councils.
- Bands in Wales rest on 2003 values since 2005–06 and on 1991 values before, so Band D is not the same homes across the whole series. England's average Band D is on its own page.
