Council tax will rise by £370 over the next five years for householders paying the average band D bill, the Taxpayers' Alliance has predicted.
The organisation, which campaigns for lower taxes, said the average band D bill would increase from £1,321 in 2007/8 to £1,691 in 2013.
Its figures were based on projections in the Pre-Budget Report (PBR) which suggested a 5% rise each year.
Matthew Sinclair, policy analyst at the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "These new rises will mean more pain for council tax payers, particularly retired people who are the ones that suffer most from this unfair tax.
"With no clear accountability for council tax rises it is too easy for Government to blame councils and councils to blame Government when big new bills land on people's doormats.
"Taxpayers need a cut in council tax, not inflation-busting increases."
The claims were dismissed by the Government as "utter nonsense". A Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said: "The PBR figures are not a prediction of the rate at which councils will set their council tax.
"Every year people misinterpret the information in the PBR. Last year they said it predicted an increase of 5.8% but the actual average council tax increase was 4.2%.
"In 2006/07, people alleged council tax would increase by 6.6% but the actual average was 4.5% and in 2005/06 the alleged figure was 6.8% compared to the actual average of 4.1%.
"Council tax increases are determined annually by local authorities, not by the Government. The Government expects to see an average overall council tax increase of well below 5%."
