The amount of council tax you pay is based on a valuation of your property by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) in 1991. This allocates each property into one of eight bands. Your council tax bill shows which band applies to your property.
You can ask the VOA to review your Council Tax band if you think it is wrong and you have been the taxpayer for less than six months, or your band has changed in the last six months.
If this does not apply you can still ask the VOA to review your Council Tax band, but you’ll need to provide strong supporting evidence showing why you believe your property is in the wrong band.
You can find more information about challenging your Council Tax band on VOA’s website. The online service allows you to check your band and submit a challenge if you think your band may be wrong.
You'll need to continue to pay your council tax while any challenge is being considered.
