Council Tax Practices
Received: 5 February 2025
Hello,I am writing to request information under FOI about council tax practices.I know that within three weeks of missing one council tax payment, councils can require residents to pay their full bill within just seven days.I know that then, if someone fails to pay a council tax bill within a week the council can apply to take your case to court and ask for a 'liability order'.I am asking in each of the following tax years:2020/212021/222022/232023/242024/25 (so far)1. How many council tax payers have you asked to pay their entire bill within seven days as a result of them missing their council tax payments?2. Of these, how many made the payment in full as requested, and how many did not?3. For those that did not, how many did you apply to take to court for a liability order?Best
