Letter template: appeal your council tax bill

Subject: Council tax bill appeal

To the council tax team

<your reference or account number on your council tax bill>

I'm writing to appeal my council tax bill.

<Explain what part of the bill is wrong and why, for example:

– the valuation of your property is wrong
– you're exempt from council tax
– a reduction or discount you’re eligible for has not been applied
– the amount you owe is wrong
– a penalty charge was added your bill which should not have been>

Please update my council tax account accordingly, and confirm when the change will take effect.

If you require any further information please contact me.

Thank you
