Change in Circumstances

It is very important that you notify us of any change in your circumstances which affects the amount of Council Tax you are due to pay.

By doing so it allows us to ensure the information held by us is up to date and accurate at all times, ensuring the amount of Council Tax you are asked to pay is correct.

Examples of changes which should be reported are as follows:

• If you change address, i.e. if you sell your home, or end a tenancy
• If individuals move into or out of your home - even for a short period of time
• If you move into a property which is subject to an empty property discount or exemption
• If you, or a member of your household falls into one of the ‘disregarded’ categories, for example is a student, an apprentice, or a carer.
