Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.
Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

Council Tax Rebanding advice needed please
Comments

You've had your appeal rejected, but what if a new application for rebanding were to be made in someone else's name - for example made in your partner's name not yours?0

A valid proposal can be made by a tax payer/occupier/owner only within 6 months of becoming that - if the partner isn't a tax payer/occupier/owner then they cannot lodge a proposal, if they are a tax payer/occupier/owner they are themselves outside of the 6 months.You've had your appeal rejected, but what if a new application for rebanding were to be made in someone else's name - for example made in your partner's name not yours?
(Any attempt to claim a partner has only just become a tax payer/occupier/owner at the property would be looked at closely).
Where a proposal in invalid in the view of the VOA you can appeal to a tribunal over the validity but this is limited only to that specific point. A finding that the proposal was valid would still require a further application to the tribunal for a formal appeal on the banding,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.0 -

To expand on CIS's post, there is virtually no chance of a Tribunal finding a invalid proposal valid. A proposal is either made within the 6 months time limit or it isn't.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
