How To Appeal?
If you disagree with a decision made in respect of your Council
Tax, you may appeal against the decision. Only the person liable
for the Council Tax may appeal, although this does not prevent
someone acting as a representative for that person.
An appeal may be made on any of the following grounds:
- A dispute over who is liable for the Council Tax
- A refusal to grant disabled person's reduction
- A refusal to grant a discount in respect of the Council
Tax
- A refusal to grant a property exemption from the Council
Tax
An appeal cannot be made on the following
grounds:
- The amount of the Council Tax set by the Council
- Matters concerning a person's financial circumstances
- The specification of a class of "exempt dwelling" set by the
Secretary of State.
Bassetlaw District Council has two months from the receipt of an
appeal in which to reach a decision. If a decision is not reached
within two months, or you are not satisfied with the decision, you
then have a right to appeal to the Valuation Office Agenct (VOA),
East Midlands Group, ground Floor, Ferrers House, Castle Meadow
Road, Nottingham. NG15 1AB.
If you want to appeal in respect of your Council Tax, send in
your appeal in writing.
Note: Making an appeal does not allow you to withhold payment of
council tax owing in the meantime.
