This is the total council tax money a council actually banked during the year for this year's bills. Set against the amount billed, it produces the headline collection rate. A bigger gap between what was billed and what was banked means more households' bills went unpaid by year end.

Total council tax actually collected for 2024-25 by 31 March 2025, net of refunds. Together with the collectable debit it determines the headline in-year collection rate, and it serves as the denominator for quarterly-share and enforcement-cost ratios. In-year receipts understate ultimate collection, since further amounts arrive as arrears in later years.
