Martin Lewis has issued a word of warning to anyone who is paying council tax on their home. The financial guru, who is the founder of MoneySavingExpert, has said that hundreds of thousands of people could be 'missing out' on getting a discount of up to 50 percent off their payments.
In a seven minute-long explainer video posted on Twitter on April 25, which has since amassed more than 285,000 views, Martin Lewis said that those paying council tax in England, Scotland and Wales could be owed a backdated payout of thousands of pounds if they have been overpaying their tax.
The warning comes as council tax is expected to rise by five percent for millions of homeowners and tenants in April - but your monthly payments could be reduced significantly if you are eligible for one of the discounts available.
