Appeals against Banding
There are only limited circumstances when an appeal can be
made.
For example: demolition of a property, conversion of houses into
flats and physical changes in the locality which may affect the
value.
A taxpayer can also appeal within 6 months of becoming a
taxpayer or having their band changed, and within 6 months of a
band change to a property similar to their own.
If you require further information on appeals against bandings

Appeals against Council Tax Liability
In addition to an appeal against your valuation band, you may
appeal if you consider that you are not liable for Council Tax. For
Example:
- you are not the resident or the owner
- you consider your property should be exempt, or
- you have been refused a discount to which you believe you are
entiltled, or
- that Telford and Wrekin council has made a mistake in
calculating your bill.
If you wish to make an appeal on any of the above, you should
firstly notify Telford & Wrekin Council in writing so that it
has an opportunity to consider your case.
You have a further right of appeal to a Valuation Tribunal if
you still disagree with the Council's decision. Details of that
procedure will be given when you are notified of the result of your
initial appeal. Initial appeals should be addressed to: The
Revenues and Benefits Services Manager, P.O. Box 249, Civic
Offices, Telford TF3 4LP.
Making an appeal either against banding or generally does not
entitle you to withhold payment. If your appeal is successful you
will be entitled to a refund of any overpaid Council
Tax. |
