At this time of year we receive a high volume of Council Tax queries. Around 70,000 customers are expected to contact us over the coming months to ask us to review their Council Tax band.
With this in mind it is important to understand under what circumstances querying your banding is worthwhile.
Making a challenge
If you're thinking about challenging your Council Tax band because you think it's too high there are a few things to consider, in order to make sure you don't spend time on a challenge that won't be successful.
Legally, we can only review your Council Tax band if you provide certain types of evidence to show your banding is wrong, or if it meets certain criteria. This evidence might include the addresses of similar properties to yours that are in a different band, or evidence of house prices which similar properties to yours have sold at.
