Fraud and Error

We do take fraud and error very seriously and it is therefore essential that you keep us informed of any changes in your circumstances. Failure to tell the council tax office within 21 days of any change in circumstances that could affect your liability to pay council tax or your entitlement to a reduction can lead to a minimum penalty of £50.00 or a prosecution.
