Council Tax liability falls on the person who is highest in the council tax 'hierarchy of liability'.

Generally speaking the liability goes in the order of resident owner, tenants, other occs, non resident owner. Who ever comes first in the list is liable for the property - the electoral list has no bearing on the council tax.
