Southwark Council Tax - Single Occupancy Reduction

[roxie99]

Hello Hope this is of help...

This is not a complaint but for information

A couple of months ago I received an updated bill from Southwark Council Tax for 2015/2016. Whilst I was 'in the zone' doing my tax returns, I spent time reviewing my bills. It seems that the updated bill was for additional payments as I have now been classed as non-single occupancy ie no discount. Paper work had been sent to me earlier in the year from Southwark Council Tax checking I was still single and I had responded as requested - sometimes that meant not doing anything.

I rang the Council on 26.1.16 querying my increased bill. They were busy but rang me back yesterday suggesting I applied online. So I did and backdated it to the start of the financial year ie 1/4/2015.

Today the bill has been reduced back to original.

You might want to do the same. Regards Roxie
