Appeals
Appeals
The Council Tax Reduction Scheme (CTRS) is not a benefit. CTRS is a reduction made to a council tax account via a discount. Because of this the appeals process differs slightly to that which was in place for Council Tax Benefit.
If a customer or a person acting on their behalf disagrees with a decision that we have made regarding CTRS, they will need to write to us and explain why they think the decision is wrong. This should be done as quickly as possible after we have made our decision. We will look at our decision again and we may amend it in their favour. Once we have considered an appeal the applicant will be notified of the decision in writing together with the reasons for the decision. However, if we do not agree with an appeal, and they wish to proceed further, they may at this stage write directly to:
Valuation Tribunal,
Hepworth House
2 Trafford Court
Doncaster
Yorkshire
DN1 1PN
Telephone: 0300 123 2035
Facsimile: 01302 321447
Email: [email protected]
Alternatively an appeals form (external link) may be completed online or downloaded and sent to the above address.
The following specific matters cannot be the subject of an appeal under these provisions:
- the local CTRS provisions as set by the council
- any discretion applied to recover an overpayment of CTRS
- who to recover an overpayment of CTRS from
- suspending or restoring CTRS
- any decision to refuse to grant a reduction under section 13A(1)(b) Local Government Finance Act 1992
A customer may also at any time in writing request the council to review their entitlement to CTRS or the amount of any reduction to CTRS outside of the provisions for appeals detailed above.
