Incorrect Council Tax Refund Claim

Check if your property may be in the wrong council tax band and reclaim any overpayments.

What Is an Incorrect Council Tax Refund Claim?

If your property has been placed in the wrong council tax band, you may have been paying too much council tax.

Many properties are incorrectly banded, and homeowners may not realise they can challenge their band and reclaim overpayments.

If your property is found to be in a lower band than currently assigned, you may be entitled to a refund of the overpaid council tax.

You May Be Eligible If

You may qualify if:

  • Your property is in a higher band than similar neighbouring properties.
  • You believe your band was incorrectly assessed.
  • Your property has changed significantly.
  • You have never challenged your council tax band.

This claim allows you to check your band and reclaim any council tax you may have overpaid.

Thousands of homeowners may be paying too much council tax due to incorrect property banding — and we help you check your eligibility and reclaim what you may be owed.
