Hi All

 

This may be a very stupid question indeed but would like confirmation on this, if possible :)

 

My husband and his old flatmate have just been sent a letter (out of the blue) saying a liability order was granted against them for unpaid council tax in June 2003. The council apparently are saying the money owing however is "from the future": May 2003 - May 2004. Is that possible? Can they get a liability order for unpaid future dates? It all sounds very strange. How would they know the future bill would not get paid?

 

Many thanks.

You are billed for the whole year of council tax in advance - you get a bill in April which covers the period April of that year to March of the next year. Because most people cannot pay that in one go the council break the whole amount down into instalments. If you default on the instalments then they will chase you for the entire year's amount.

 

So, technically it's not "future" money they are chasing because you owe that entire balance from the 1 April each year. If your hubby and his flatmate weren't at the property for the entire period they were billed for then they won't owe the whole year.
