Could You Be Overpaying Council Tax
from Leicester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Did you know you might be overpaying your Council Tax? Consumer experts reveal that UK homes are still valued using 1991 prices — the same year Terminator 2 hit theaters — and for many, that outdated benchmark means they’re paying way too much. Over half of households could be in the wrong band. Check your neighbors’ bands or recent sale prices on your street to see if you’re overcharged. While challenging your band isn’t guaranteed to lower your bill — it might even go up — successful appeals can lead to backdated refunds. If you’ve renovated, split your property, or just want to make sure you’re paying fairly, it’s worth checking with the Valuation Office Agency or Scottish Assessors Association.
