Residents in Welsh county asked to check council tax bill as residents overpay £700k
The Limitation Act 1980 would “signify” that taxpayers have six years to try and claim back the overpayment.
Eventually any unclaimed overpayments could become part of a council’s finances to be used on services. A WLGA spokesman said: “After a period of time councils probably will have a ‘write back’ provision in their write off policy to absorb the balances.Image caption,The WLGA advised residents to check their council tax bill and if it is in credit to contact their local authority and request a refund.
“Simply enquire with the local authority providing as many details as possible in relation to the account/property the taxpayer is concerned about," it said. “Records extend to 1993. Where a clear entitlement to the money exists councils would reverse the write back and refund.”
