The Council Tax Handbook is the most widely used practical guide to all aspects of the council tax as it applies in England, Wales and Scotland.
The handbook explains:
who is liable and who is exempt from paying council tax
how homes are valued for tax purposes and how valuations can be changed
the position of students
discounts and the new reduction schemes
the powers of local authorities
tax collection, appeals, enforcement and bailiffs’ powers
Fully cross-referenced to caselaw and regulations, and filled with lots of practical examples, the handbook is an indispensable guide for taxpayers, advice agency staff, housing and consumer advisers, lawyers, local authority administrators and anyone else needing to understand the council tax and its application.
