About Course

Your Council Tax band was set using what your home would have been worth decades ago – and occasionally it is wrong. This course explains how bands work in England and Wales, how to check yours, the difference between a proposal and a band review, the evidence that counts, the risks, and how to appeal to a valuation tribunal.
