    Providing that the 2 Band Cs and 2 Band Bs are identical, i.e. same size and type, are all semis or all detached or all inner terrrace, and the 2 Band B houses were not reduced because of a disability which does not affect your house, the following is short but to the point.


    Dear Sir/Madam

    COUNCIL TAX BAND : YOUR ADDRESS

    I live at the above address and my band is Band C as is No. X. However Nos Y and Z, which are identical houses were reduced from Band C to Band B. I therefore request that the band of my house also be reduced to Band B, backdated to 1 April 1993

    Yours Faithfully
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales
