Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Doesn't make good reading, does it? Shouts out poor performance to me, in regard to collecting revenue owed, rather than 'excellent'.

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Thank you, and yes it does make depressing reading. I'd hardly label this as 'excellent'. What were we saying about saving pennies and pounds?

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Since you're ever so helpful, coming up with figures, and the quoted collection rate only relates to residential property, what's the equivalent collection rate on business properties in Hyndburn? ...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates That's the sorty of dodgy dealing I was referring to. Although they wouldn't necessarily know prices would go through the roof, property prices very rarely fall, in the long term. I'd name...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Prices doubling was just unfortunate. It did happen. Literally in a matter of months. Paying such a large percentage in various fees sounds dodgy.

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates It does sound like they took advantage, of someone living so far away. Which is disgusting.

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Thinking about it, it should be around two grand in fees if you're buying. Last time I sold a property l paid £750.00 in legal fees. If you'd paid two percent to the estate agents, and let's...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates I wasn't blaming you. As you say, difficult to arrange when you're so far away. Just seems a massive percent of the sale. Like most of us, I'm sure your dad would want the money go to loved...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates You should be paying a few percent of the selling price to the estate agent, and up to two grand maximum in legal fees.

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates When did they sell your dad's house for you? It does sound like you were ripped off. Whatever they sold if for, only getting less than fifty percent sounds iffy. Prices did go crazy locally,...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Ok. So this non-collection figure just relates to residential property. Then why aren't we reading lists of prosecutions, every weeekend in the Observer, like we do for those who don't buy a...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Presumably the figure includes money from business rates, from commercial properties in the borough, as well as residential council tax?

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Properties which may be exempt include: property which is empty. This means it has to be unoccupied. The property also has to be substantially unfurnished. The exemption applies for a...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates I thought if a property is empty, although there's a tax free period, it is still liable for council tax, albeit at a reduced rate, after that. Since we're told there are 2,000 empty properties in...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates It would be very interesting to see a break down of the uncollected figure. Is it mainly from empty properties? Or just people refusing to pay? In which case why aren't they being taken to...

Replies: 54 Council Tax Collection Rates Views: 2,134 Posted By garinda Re: Council Tax Collection Rates Doesn't look too good. Not for what we're told is an 'excellent' council.
