council tax?

manhattan

we pay in 10 monthly installments for twelve months. which 2 months do we not have to pay?

Just checked our council tax bill and we pay from April to January, so February and March are the months you don't have to pay

CIS

Feb and March are the standard months that have no payments taken, but if your acct has changed.fallen behind during the year then payments are often are requested for these two months.

If your in doubt, contact your local council and check you instalment schedule.

manhattan

thanks, so there should be no payment for this month and next?

ours is the same as susanjane - we pay april through january, no payments this month or next. I would imagine if you only pay 10 months out of twelve it will be the same (because the financial year starts in april).

thanks everyone, we used to have a council tax book that had only 10 payment slips, but this year they sent us a card which does not tell you much, lol.

Loads of Councils have done this now its cheaper and easier on the admin. Most Councils wont want there payment plans going through to feb and march as they want the money in so they can work out how much to put it up by next year. You still pay for the months just dont pay in them.

I am having a problem with re-banding. I have spoken with the Accessors office and they are happy with the banding I have. I have pointed out the 5 houses in my street that are exactly the same are all band D and we are band E. They say my house has 108 sq mtrs and the other are all under 100 sq mtrs. Don't understand this. I have a single glazed leanto on the back of my house (as do others since 1993) that is totally uninhabitable and am arguing this point with them. The house next to me is a bigger house than ours bought at the same time as us and is band D. Dont understand. He has agreed to come up and review my house which is good. Has anyone had a similar problem and what did u do and how did u get one. Help! help! help.
