Allocation of funds towards council tax
Dear Bath and North East Somerset Council,
Allocation of funds towards council tax
Please can you confirm what the council policy is when money is sent to the council for council tax are these payments allocated to the current outstanding bill.
For example if someone already had a charging order granted by the court on their home for a previous council tax bill , does the council automatically put the funds towards the current outstanding bill or would the funds be used instead to pay off the charging order first or does this only get collected when the property is sold once the charging order is enforced.
When a letter is sent after payment has been made using the council's automated payment system making the customer's intentions clear as to which year their payment is to be used, are the funds allocated to the correct year.
Please can I also have a copy of your policy .
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
D Speller

Dear Bath and North East Somerset Council,
Allocation of funds towards council tax
Please can you confirm what the council policy is when money is sent to
the council for council tax are
these payments allocated to the current outstanding bill.
For example if someone already had a charging order granted by the court
on their home for a previous
council tax bill , does the council automatically put the funds towards
the current outstanding bill or
would the funds be used instead to pay off the charging order first or
does this only get collected when
the property is sold once the charging order is enforced.
When a letter is sent after payment has been made using the council's
automated payment system
making the customer's intentions clear as to which year their payment is
to be used, are the funds
allocated to the correct year.
Please can I also have a copy of your policy .
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
