Council Tax Arrears

Council Tax Arrears are unpaid amounts owed to local authorities for local services such as waste collection, street cleaning, and community facilities. If a resident doesn’t pay their Council Tax on time, the unpaid balance accumulates as arrears. These can build up over months, leading to debt recovery actions like reminders, court proceedings, or payments plans. It’s important to address arrears promptly to avoid further penalties or legal steps, and arrangements can often be made to pay off the debt gradually. Clear communication with the council can help manage and resolve arrears effectively.
