Council tax

Well I was declared Bankrupt in October 2017 completely up to date with my C.Tax installment payments for that year and was told by the OR just to keep paying it as normal which I did.
No one claimed the money and the Council trousered the lot.
In which case the OR will have claimed it back from the council I would suspect.0 -

I had a feeling that was it - I've done exactly the same in the past !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 -
After you declared bankruptcy you are no longer liable to pay council tax.0

Bankruptcy doesn't remove you from council tax liability, it removes your requirement to directly pay the council tax charge and places it as a provable debt in the bankruptcy (a subtle difference but an important one).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.
