Help Needed about Council Tax Increase!!

louise.b74

I had my 2007/8 Council Tax bill though yesterday and it has gone up £8 a month!:mad:

I think this is a bit steep, it's a rise of over 10%. How can they justify that.

I am already in the lowest Band, so there is no chance of me ringing up and trying to get my flat rebranded.

Is there anything else I can do to get the cost down? My mum also lives in a Band A property, but it she pays less than me a month.

Any advice on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Does your mum live in a different authority to you?

Or does she have the single person discount?

Or any Council Tax benefit?

All these things could make a difference to two band A properties.

Hi,

If you live by yourself then you are eligible to a 25% discount. You need to get them to send you a form, which is quite simple to fill in.
