Council Tax Rates

[tamborine]

detached house band H @ £2496
flat band C @ £3589
Both same council.

Why the huge difference as both are 3beds?

[emmie]

i would check that with the local authority, doesn't seem right, are they on the same street, how do you know the council tax?

[emmie]

sorry is one of these your property? and the other someone you know..

[brainiac]

Are you sure those figures are correct? They seem the wrong way round - band H would always be higher than Band C

[tamborine]

house is mine & flat is son's

[brainiac]

You can look up what band any property is in here:

[tamborine]

those figures are as billed as am receiving hospitalised son's mail

[emmie]

i would check this out, and see if can't get this lowered for the son.

[emmie]

tambo are you based in England or Wales, as Scotland have different CT i believe -

[tamborine]

both props in Windsor, emmie

[emmie]

no wonder they seem very high. I would go through Brainiac link and check this out.

[emmie]

you need postcode for both properties to get the ball rolling.
exhorbitant council tax i must say.

Depends on the property values, some flats can be valued a lot higher than some detached properties.

[emmie]

true ^^ but this seems excessive

[barry1010]

Tambo, have you got single person's discount?

A band H property should have a much higher council tax bill than a band C property

My CT is reduced for sole occupancy whereas son's flat is empty (trashed by tenant).

Windsor (unparished) council tax 21/22 is listed as Band H £2930.60; Band C £1302.49.
Old Windsor Band H £2999.31; Band C £1333.03

So something is very wrong with your son's council tax bill.

[emmie]

i would concur with Barry

[barry1010]

How long has the flat been empty, tambo?

[tamborine]

am not paying son's as he is still in hospital. Council can jail him ;)

Band H is 3959.82 here in Plymouth, which seems obscene. Higher than Windsor??
