Reclaimed Council Tax

I’ve been lucky enough to get quite a substantial refund on my council tax as I have been in the wrong band for over 20 years. I was wondering if interest should also be paid on the refund?

    As CT legislation makes no mention of interest being payable on refunds of overpaid CT, there is no legal obligation to pay interest.
