Council Tax Support Overpayments

Overpayments do not exist in the same way under council tax support rules. Any award of council tax support that you are not entitled to will be removed from your bill and your liability will be recalculated.

You must tell us within 21 days of any change that will result in a change of council tax support awarded. If you fail to tell us about a change that reduces or removes entitlement to council tax support you may be liable for a penalty of at least £70. We will apply this if you fail to tell us about a change within one calendar month of the change occurring.

What if I disagree with an overpayment decision?

If you disagree with a council tax support decision, please see our Council Tax Support Appeals page.
