tenant refusing to pay council tax

The Landlord is liable for Council Tax in this situation.
The Council will go after the Landlord for payment because he is the liable person. They will not ask someone who is not liable for the bill to pay it.
The Landlord wants someone who is not liable to pay his Council Tax bill. Landlord loses in my view. Should have added a bit extra on the rent but don't call it Council Tax.0 -

OFT say it's perfectly fine to say that Ctax has to be paid on top of rent. For one thing it means the tenant can assure themsleves that the LL is not adding a little extra on top. They seem to view it in the same way as utility bills, water charges etc.
Funny that some people think the OFT and "Unfair Terms" are the rules that must be followed, until they see one that they don't agree with :rotfl:
And don't mix up liability to pay one person with the liability of a third person to pay for it in turn.
Tesco are liable to pay their supplier for the fish fingers I bought today, but in turn I am liable to pay Tesco for the cost of them + their mark up.
I am the tenant, Tesco are the LL, their supplier is the council.0 -

So in your scenario Tesco are asking you to pay their fish suppliers directly!!0
