Council tax rebanding on a former property
Hello,
First time posting on here after lurking for many years :-)
The current owners of a property I used to own have successfully challenged their council tax band from an F to an E. On the gov.uk website it states the E band is effective from the date I bought the property (June 1999). I paid F band when I lived there. I sold the house around 5 years later.
-Can I claim a CT refund for the years I lived there, 1999-2004 ?
Grateful of any advice, thanks

Almost certainly not - no harm in asking them though!

Yes you can, but some councils no longer have payment records older than 6 years, which means you wouldn't receive any refund.
If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales2 -
When some of the flats where I live were rebanded, previous renters I knew got the reduction for the period they were there.
Worth asking - our council had the old records and went back to when the flats were built in 1998.
