council tax records ?

Is there any one out there who know how long councils keep records of council tax payers?

If you move to a different area and a different council do your recods follow you?

    Council tax records in one form or another are kept back to 1 April 1993.

    Records aren't routinely transferred but councils can contact previous ones for information in some cases.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
