Council tax in Windsor and Maidenhead could rise 7.5%
The government's giving special permission for some councils to hike bills above the normal limit to help with finances.
People in Windsor and Maidenhead could see their council tax go up by as much as 7.5% percent this year.
It's one of seven local authorities the government is letting raise bills higher than usual to help with money troubles.
Some leaders have expressed concern that, even with this move, local services may still be under strain.
Local government minister Alison McGovern has said the deal was designed around "reconnecting funding with need".
But Steven Broadbent, the County Councils Network (CCN) finance spokesman, warned the next three years "will be very challenging" for the organisation's members.
Most councils can raise their share of a tax bill by up to 5% - and must ask for residents' permission in a referendum before hiking it further.
The minister also said: "We are reconnecting funding with need.
"Only around a third of councils were given the funding to broadly match their assessed need before our reforms.
"By the end of the multi-year settlement, that will be nine in 10 councils.
"As a result of these changes, the most deprived places will receive 45% more funding per head than the least deprived in 2028/29."
The package will include a £440 million uplift to the recovery grant, "aimed at the councils most impacted by cuts during austerity", bringing its total to £2.6 billion.
It will also include £272 million additional allocations within the homelessness, rough sleeping and domestic abuse grant, bringing its total to £2.7 billion.
