The little-known rules that could lower your Council Tax as bills rocket across UK

This April, millions of households face council tax increases of up to 10%, marking one of the biggest annual rises in years.
Regional rules mean parts of England will see up to 9% increases next month, with seven councils allowed above the 5% cap.

Hundreds of thousands stand to gain or miss out as people eligible for the 'severely mentally impaired' discount and the Disabled Band Reduction Scheme need GPs who must confirm eligibility.
Before appealing, homeowners should check their council tax band online and compare properties of similar size, type and age, while many remain unaware of the Disabled Band Reduction Scheme.
