Not in this list
- Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland has domestic rates, set on each home's capital value, instead of council tax.
- Scotland. Scotland's bands are set differently, so band D is not the same home as in England. The Scottish Government publishes it for every council.
- Wales. Welsh bands are set on 2003 values, so band D is not the same home as in England. The Welsh Government publishes it for every council.
