@johntate5050 Жыл бұрын
I've always said this. As a single person I feel totally ripped off. I receive a 25% single person's discount. There's a household near me that has 4 working adults. For illustration purposes let's say the council tax is £100. That means I pay £75 per month but those individuals all pay £25 each despite them being a 4 times bigger drain on resources. I preferred the poll tax where every working person contributed. The problem was it wasn't implemented correctly. You can't have a neurosurgeon earning £150k paying the same as a cleaner earning £16k. It should be means tested to make it fair. In my opinion everyone should contribute.

Thank you for sharing this - it is disheartening to hear that Ukrainian refugees qualify for full CT discount, whilst other refugees do not, I was thinking of the USA/UK/NATO led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and those refugees who’ve managed to get asylum in the UK after helping the UK government don’t get much help, and now their families still stuck in those countries can’t find safe passage under family reunification…it is sobering fact to know that only 22 Afghanistani refugees were resettled in the UK in 2022 (this is a Home Office stat)…whatever prejudices people hold, it’s clear to see their is no real moral / ethical / fairness being applied here… In my suburb we have seen many Ukrainian families go right at the top of the housing list, many of whom have been housed in expensive private rental houses at the cost of the tax payer, whilst there are many working British families in temporary accommodation/ bed sits waiting for the council to house then - British people who’ve paid taxes and when they need help the most are unable to access it - I can’t imagine why anyone can’t see how this is breeding resentment… I’d like to see Martin Lewis, Gary from Gary’s Economics and Dr Faiza Shaheen have a discussion on housing and the issues facing ordinary British citizens and discuss/ jointly present some solutions 🌟

Applied a month ago for an adult on AA with an adult carer. 3 weeks later got a decision: 25% reduction. I asked for it to be back dated. They approved my request to the day the adult claimed AA. Result = four figure sum refunded. It is very surprising this is not done automatically when you get awarded AA. It's a flawed system in the UK. On one hand you have to pay this tax, then on the other hand Sunak pays you back with all of these Cost of Living payments. What has this country come to? And if you don't know about the 25% discount, then of course, you won't be getting any of YOUR money back. Nice one HM Gov.👍 In Martin we trust🇬🇧✌

I think it's a bit of a joke that people like me that live alone only get a 25% discount on council tax. My council in Buckinghamshire doesn't even collect waste food. We get bins collected every 2 weeks, MAYBE, and we're a major town 30 mins from London. The hell am I paying for? I'm far lower usage than a family when it comes to waste collection, only 1 car instead of 2, less waste water, less services requirement or likelihood of usage, so why only 25% on the deduction.

Very interesting! Our son, who is only 16 at the moment so doesn't count in the qualifying adults, receives High rate DLA and mobility (or now to be PIP), so we get the lowered council tax band. We are both registered carers for our son and my wife receives some carers allowance as she basically had to give up her job 15 years ago to look after our son. Personally, I think our son will live with us for the rest of his life. I wonder how this would work when my son turns 18. As there would be 3 adults, we are both registered carers and he may possibly qualify to be disregarded under the SMI rule. 2 years to go yet of course :-) but worth asking. As my dad always says "If you try you might, if you don't you won't". And ANYTHING these days when bills just seem to be going up and up will all save on the pocket!

We have always thought she was entitled. She has very bad memories of this phone call and has forbidden us to do anything. Basically it sounded like a admin person was questioning her even thought they knew she was in a psychiatric hospital and judging her. She is able to live alone but with masses of help and support.

It's exhausting when unwell dealing with such, we've lost warm home discount etc too and now seem to fall through several nets with little or no help.

The rules are not fair. If you have savings, they say, 'Oh well, you have savings so you can use that money to pay Council Tax. So if you don't have a job, you're expected to just spend your savings. So the people that didn't bother to save, they get a discount. The Council Tax is not related to earnings, so if you're on a low income with savings, you still have to pay the full amount.

Hey MSE team/viewers...I have a question, but, I'm not sure where to ask this. I have been reading your guide regards council tax banding and, I'm struggling. I can only find records with regards to my own house sales back to 2002 listed at £80,000. I'm 1 of 2 x 3 beds in a 3 house terrace. Both the 3 beds are of a very similar size and footprint, almost being the mirror image of eachother. Of the 3 houses in the terrace, I can see that the 1 x bed sandwiched between us is in band A and both the (small!) 3 beds are in band B. However, I can see that the last sold value of the other 3 bed on the same row goes back to 2000 and is listed at £45,000. If I'm right, the indication would be that both 3 beds are likely in the wrong tax band. It appears that at around 2001/2 the price jumped significantly. As such, it appears to be skewing the likely 1991 value of my house when I run the tool on the historic house price generator tool you have embedded within your council tax banding article. As such, I'm at a loss as to what to do. Should I pursue a claim pointing out the year 2000 value of my neighbours very similar sized property, or, should I just stick with what I have? My only other option would be to retrieve the pre-2000 sales values for my house...and I'm seemingly drawing blanks there also. I could really do with lessening the burden. I was diagnosed and treated for melanoma during the pandemic and, so, although I do have an understanding employer, any saving I could make personally would be of significant benefit to myself. Many thanks for any feedback any of you may have.

Well unless you're a lawyer or are happy to spend time and money defending your position in court you'll eventually just end up with serious debt.
