We are posting here a little piece of English ingenuity that should go down as a legendary piece of brinkmanship that many have sort of known for a long time but have not dared to contest. If yet another huge council tax demand flops through your letterbox, it is not in essence a legal demand and can be dismissed under British law. Unless the council in question can send you an invoice for payment as required by the Bills of Exchange Act 1882, then the said council has no right to demand money from you or threaten you.
Credit must also go to YouTuber Richard Vobes who has been unfairly demonetised and hounded simply for conducting some stellar investigative work. Support him through the links at the bottom of his video about the Mafia Council Tax con.
Across the country, under the Labour government, council tax bills are currently rising at levels never before seen.
I doubt anyone will try this because you need some serious brass balls
Anyone who pays tax in Britain is a muppet. You’ld have to be an idiot of grand proposrtion to even get a well paying job.
I’m not going to pay my council tax now. I just need to read up about the legalities about what that woman did and then apply it. Thank you for this.
Bradford Council has increased their council tax by 10% this year alone and it is estimated they will increase by another 15% next year. I’m now paying £3900 per year.
My council tax has gone up by 7.5%. I’m fed up because on my pension I can barely get by.
your right it’s the new poll tax.
If they could tax us for breathing they would. Absolutely no point in working any more. If you are on UC you don’t have to pay any tax of any kind.
