Exclusion from council tax

Good afternoon,
I do apologise for the delay in responding to your e-mail request for
information but it has taken some time in reaching me. This is a business
as usual request from my point of view and this is the way in which it is
being treated.

Under the provisons of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1955 a place
of meeting for religious worship may be certified by the Registrar
General. If a building is certified a certificate is issued which can be
presented to the Council Tax Department. To submit an application the
proprietor/trustees of the building must submit a plan of the building
showing all the rooms in the building and the usages of those rooms
together with a timetable of all the activities that take place in the
building. Should the building contain any living accommodation that has
to be clearly identified. The building would be registered by the
Registrar General specifically excluding any living accommodation or
unused area. For example, a three storey building could be registered as
ground floor only of whatever address. There are therefore no statistics
in response to your query.
