Council Tax: Understanding the law

Misleading information online

Occasionally, people claim that using outdated or ‘archaic’ laws means they do not have to pay Council Tax.

There are also many misleading articles and templates online that suggest Council Tax is not legal.

These arguments are wrong. If you are drawing on these for advice you should exercise caution and seek proper legal advice before considering any defence against Council Tax based on contract, consent, or common law.
