Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the likely amount of council tax revenue that was foregone in the most recent year for which figures are available as a result of inaccurate banding of properties for council tax purposes.

The Department has not undertaken an assessment of the likely amount of council tax revenue foregone as a result of inaccurate banding of properties. Council tax payers have the right to formally challenge whether their property is in the correct band within six months of moving into their home.
