US EditionMartin Lewis Urges Thousands to Do One Thing to Avoid Overpaying Council Tax - Liverpool Echo
- Homeowners in England, Wales, and Scotland can check their council tax band online and request a challenge if they believe it is incorrect.
- This process arises because council tax is based on property values, with the average home placed in Band D, but revaluation can sometimes increase bands instead of lowering them.
- People can use the Scottish Assessors website or GOV.UK to search and challenge the band by providing evidence, especially if they qualify for discounts due to Severe Mental Impairments like multiple sclerosis or dementia.
- A doctor's diagnosis is required to apply for council tax discounts related to mental impairments, and those on low incomes are advised to consult their local council about available support.
- Requesting a revaluation can help avoid overpaying council tax but carries the risk of increasing the band, so individuals should weigh this possibility before proceeding.
