A new investigation by the UK’s biggest consumer website, MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE), has discovered that some 862,027 households in Scotland, England and Wales could be due a refund for overpaid Council Tax.
A whopping £150.2 million is lying unclaimed, worth an average of £174 per account. Their research also shows that £11.2 million is unclaimed by some 81,479 Scots in 30 of the 32 councils north of the border, worth £137.51 on average.
Data was unavailable for Clackmannanshire and Orkney Islands Councils. More than £5 million is owed to more than 27,580 people in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Fife alone - an average of £181.37.MSE.com is urging every household across the UK to check if they are missing out on a refund, which could provide a much-needed financial boost during the ongoing cost of living crisis.
The consumer website explains that there are a number of reasons why people may be due a cash refund from their council, but the key one is where the householder has moved out of the area and had already paid their Council Tax bill upfront.
