How Your Bill is Calculated

Your bill assumes that you will remain liable for the Council Tax through to 31 March and that you will continue to be entitled to any discount or exemption which may be shown on your bill.  (Some exemptions only last for a limited period.  If you have an exemption and it runs out during the year, you will be sent a new bill at that time.)  Please let us know immediately if your circumstances change, so that we can amend your bill.  If you dont tell us about changes in your circumstances, you may be liable for a fine.

Rights of Appeal

If you think your council tax is wrong, or you disagree with our decision to hold you liable for the bill, you can appeal in writing to the Head of Customer Services.  

Council Tax Band

You can appeal to the Assessor against your Band, but only within 6 months of becoming liable for the council tax.  (Your council tax depends on which band your property falls into.  Houses were banded in 1991 and have not been changed.  All new houses built since then have been banded in terms of 1991 prices.)
