Quite a few of us here in SE Qld are paying $2000-2500 a year for rates + water. It's still considerably less than what you're paying in Glasgow though. Where about in Glasgow do you live? You must be in a very posh area.

Re: Council tax equivalent in Oz
Thanks everyone! Very helpful - also didn't realise that you don't pay 'rates' if you're renting so that's good news.
Makes the price of rentals even better value - we've been looking online and thought they seemed pretty reasonable anyway.
Should leave us more money to enjoy the city lifestyle
