Normally, you can appeal if you are:
- the person liable to pay the council tax
- the person who would be liable if the dwelling were not exempt
- the owner of the dwelling and have one of the listed grounds for appeal
Making an appeal does not allow you to withhold payment of the council tax owing in the meantime, and you should continue to pay your bill whilst your appeal is outstanding.
What you can appeal against
There is no appeal against the amount of council tax set by your council each year, however you can appeal against the band of the property.
Banding appeals are dealt with by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA)
and are only allowed in certain circumstances. The Directgov website gives you comprehensive guidance about challenging your Council Tax band
