Council Tax Rebanding Refund

Liffy11

2008 successfully went from band E to D, backdated to 2006. Now, having lost a bedroom (demolished unsound seventies first floor side bathroom extension and made tiny bedroom into bathroom) am reapplying to go down a further band (as fewer bedrooms) having looked at 1991 values, neighbours banding, etc.

On researching, I notice talk of refunds of council tax when rebranded downwards. I got no refund in 2008. Has there been some error in this or were there no refunds in 2008?

A refund should be made for each year where the band reduction generates a credit. You would need to check with the council but there a few different circumstances where a credit would not be generated based on the specific circumstances.

The VOA tend to compare dwellings on their size rather than number of bedrooms. So if dwellings of a similar type and size to yours (following the old bathroom demolition) are in a lower CT band, then you have a good chance of your band being reduced.
