A territorial authority can charge a general rate if it keeps separate accounts for different areas. You might hear this called a ward account. The authority can decide to charge a general rate for each area, depending on its own rules. This rule used to be part of the law, but it was repealed on 29 June 1988 by the Rating Powers Act 1988.
