Council Tax penalties

Councils have powers to impose penalties if a person is required by law to provide information and either fails to do so or supplies information the person knows is false.

If you disagree with a penalty imposed on you, you may first wish to discuss it with the Appeals and Penalties section at our Council Tax Office on (0151) 666 3291. Alternatively you may appeal direct to the Valuation Tribunal.

You normally have two months in which to appeal after a penalty is imposed.

You should continue to pay your Council Tax bill while your appeal is being decided.
