Single person discount review
Harrow Council is continuing to review discounts which will help identify fraudulent claims among council tax payers who are attempting to cheat the system.
Each year local authorities nationwide receive a high volume of applications for single person's discount. Sadly some of these applications are not genuine and just like benefit cheats these people are claiming reductions in their bills falsely.
If we have sent you a council tax discount review letter, we will need you to confirm your current details by completing the review form. Please use the button below and enter your unique PIN number, which you'll find on the letter we sent you.
Legislation
Legislation exists which allows council tax cheats to be prosecuted in the same way that benefit cheats are through the court system and made to pay back the money they owe.
Checks are made to ensure everyone who claims the discount is genuine. However occasionally circumstances may not be so easy to explain. To help in these situations we have included the most frequently asked questions that can arise throughout this review period.
