Isle of Wight Council increases Summons and Liability Order fees in 2025/26 to address growing unpaid council tax.

The Isle of Wight Council will raise fees for Summons and Liability Orders in 2025/26 to £91.50 and £37, respectively. This increase aims to improve the council's financial stability and manage the growing unpaid council tax, which reached £6 billion in the UK by March 2024, up £504 million from the previous year. The council justifies the hike as part of its Corporate Plan to align expenditures with expected income.
