observer Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Seems the Tory spokesman for Local Government (Mr Pickles - no not Wilfred!); is alleging that the Government knows of numerous cases where folk have been placed in the wrong tax band and are thus over-paying Council Tax.

Stephen Taylor Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Perhaps that is why the council are taking ariel photos (allegedly), so that they can contact you to tell you that you have over paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little fella Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 It is not the council who is taking ariel photos it is a mapping company, I have not seen their plane for quite some time so I think they have finished here for a few years. It is registered number is G-Grid. The council just buy the photographs and compare with the last and find who has made alterations without consent. They then put your council tax down.

Paul Kennedy Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Originally posted by observer: The Government know too; but have avoided mentioning it; as they don't wish to suffer more embarrassment for incompetance. And the extra money comes in handy as well Observer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 YES I think I am paying too much council tax and I see very little in return for the ?100+ I fork out each month in council tax payments. Can I have a refund please ! Also... Extortionate Business Rates? (council tax for businesses) Now they really annoy me... what are they for and is there any benefit to businesses in return for paying it? Answer is NO ! Businesses don't even get their bins emptied free by WBC so what exactly DO they pay their money for? 5% increase on last years business rate too?... NO ours has actually seen a 19% increase on last year.. no wonder so many small businesses struggle to stay in business !!!!
