A change in your circumstances that results in an overpayment of council tax could entitle you to a council tax refund.

If a change in your circumstances results in an overpayment of council tax we will issue you with a new council tax bill showing that your account is in credit.

When you receive a council tax bill showing that your account is in credit you will then be entitled to apply for a council tax refund.

If you are not leaving the borough, you will need an e-services account to submit your Council Tax Refund application. Within this online portal, you can apply and see updates as your application progresses. Login or create your account with the link below.
