When we pay council tax in the UK?
You pay a certain amount for Council Tax according to a Tax Banding. The main factors when calculating the tax band are the tax set by the appropriate Councils and the Police Authority. The valuation band that your property has been placed in. The bands are from A to H with H being the most expensive. You asked whether you pay tax according to having gardens. As the gardens are part of the property and would therefore increase the value of your property, then yes, you will be paying more council tax.
