Council Taxes can be harsh to your finances, therefore it is important to ensure that you are being charged the right amount. This follows the news from The Telegraph that 17 neighbours from Birmingham were able to be refunded £47,000 from their local council. It is definitely worth it as the money is backdated to when you first started living at the property. Properties just next door could be in different tax level bands, so make sure you check it out.
The way to do this is simple, just go to the website of the council tax list at the Valuation Office Agency www.voa.gov.uk and enter your postcode and then find and compare the addresses of your house and the other houses on your street.
However, be careful as you are merely challenging what band your house is in and therefore could potentially lead to your house being re-valued into a higher band.
