Powys council tax increase changed to 2.9 per cent POWYS residents will have to dig just that little bit deeper into their pockets from April so that they can pay the 2.9 per cent extra in their Council Tax bill. At Powys County Council’s full council on Thursday, March 4, councillors met to formally set the Council Tax. This means that the cost for a Band D property will rise by £39.58 a year or 76 pence a week. The average Council Tax bill for a Band D property in Powys will be £1,404.26. But this excludes the Town/Community Council and Police precepts that are added to the bills.
