People across the UK are being urged to check whether they are entitled to a refund after paying too much council tax.
According to Martin Lewis’ website MoneySavingExpert , 826,000 households across England, Scotland and Wales are eligible for a refund. The money saving site has revealed that over £150 million could be claimed back in total across the UK, with almost £4.7 million of that in the North East.
Those who have recently moved house into a different area are particularly being encouraged to check if they are entitled to money back. The main reason for overpaid council tax is because bills are typically paid in advance - so when you move house into a new area your former council may close your account with credit.
