Making sure you are in the correct band could help to save you hundreds of pounds
Financial guru Martin Lewis has issued some important council tax advice. as the cost of living crisis continues.
The viewer challenged this and they are now waiting for a £4,000 refund - since they were overpaying for the last 30 years. Martin said: "There are up to 400,000 people inEngland and Scotland in the wrong band."The value of our council tax band was done in 1991." He explained that back then someone drove past houses and decided which bands properties would fall in to.
Martin urged people to check their bands as they could be owed money, just like the This Morning viewer. His Money Saving Expert website detailed how to check. If neighbours in similar properties are in a lower band than you, then you may have a claim. A second crucial step is to estimate what your home was worth in 1991, as that's when and how the council tax bands were defined. You can do that with the Money Saving Expert calculator here.
