Council tax is paid in respect of domestic properties such as the housemasters accommodation or the matrons flat. The amount of tax paid depends on the Council Tax bands for each property and the circumstances of each occupation. Whilst the basic calculation of rates for most domestic properties is straightforward, the rules become extremely complicated when dealing with mixed-use properties such as schools.
The Beattie Partnership offers a council tax audit, which is a unique service to establish areas of overpayment and reclaim any rebate from the local authority. This also includes bespoke advice on how to keep your individual liabilities to a minimum in future years. This ongoing management can be intensive and for this reason we have developed a specific on-line service called CTassist.
