If you think there is a problem with your council tax bill you should tell us. It could be that the bill is in the wrong name, you think the amount you are being charged is wrong, or you don’t agree with a decision we’ve made.
Appealing against the amount of your council tax
If you still think our decision is wrong or we don’t get back to you within 2 months you can then appeal to the Valuation Tribunal Service (VTS). You must contact us first about what you think is wrong, if you write directly to the VTS your appeal will not be considered by them.
The VTS is an independent body not connected to the council that will arrange a hearing and then make a decision on your case.
