Your Council TaxIn Gravesham we pay our Council tax to the 'Collection Authority' which in our case is Gravesham Borough Council.
However, Gravesham does not receive all the revenue generated by the Council Tax. Gravesham Borough Council has to hand most of that money to the other three authorities in Kent who also provide services.
