2 free months without council tax and an IPA

Hi

I was just wondering what happens when you get your two free months with the council tax, do you pay more towards an IPA for those two months ? or is it just forgotten about ?

Same as the water rates as these are over 8 months on my case.

Thanks

Strictly speaking, when you did your SoA you should have divided the annual bills by 12 and put those figures on your forms, don't worry too much if you didn't though, the OR isn't going to take the extra payments from you, enjoy.

Thanks for the reply

I haven't actually gone BR yet (saving the money for the fees at the moment).

The only problem with working it out over 12 months is that you have to pay the council tax over the first 10 months so strictly speaking if your SoA was cut tightly you wouldn't have the extra to pay up front.
