A Money Saving Expert investigation has revealed that more than 862,000 UK households could be due a refund for overpaid Council Tax.
MSE figures show a huge £150.2 million sits unclaimed, worth an average of £174 per account. Almost £13 million of the unclaimed cash is owed to households in the north west of England.
MSE said: "There are a number of reasons why households may be owed cash from their council, but the main one is when a householder has moved out of the area but had already paid the bill upfront".
