Not paying council Tax, no fixed address.

I spend most of my time in my static caravan, and the rest on hoiday, or with friends, family so I don't have a fixed address, and am not registered anywhere to pay counil Tax or to vote.  I have paid my taxes all my life.  This is a new situation and I wondered is there anyway round this.

     You have no liability to pay council tax if you do not have a residential address. 

     You can register vote at any address ask one of your friends if you can register there.

  • Don't they have to say you are living there to put you on register, but that would not be true?
  • Ive just found out I can apply to be on electorial register without a fixed address.  Thankyou.
