Single Person Discount Review
As required by law, we are in the process of reviewing all Council Tax payers who receive a 25% single person discount. The majority of claims are genuine, however it is essential we make sure the discount is only awarded to those who are entitled.
Beware of misleading articles and templates on the legality of Council Tax. Anyone using these for advice should be cautious and seek proper legal advice before using them as defence against Council Tax liability based on contract, consent and common law.
