Wondering if someone can clarify something for me before I ring the council tomorrow. Background: we moved out of our rented flat (and out of the borough) on July 27th. I called the council tax office on July 24th to inform them of the move. They asked the end date of our tenancy, I told them July 27th, they said that the direct debit payments we'd made so far came to more than what we owed for the period we'd been in the flat and told me not to cancel the direct debit as they would need that active to process a refund back into our bank account.
Fast forward to today. I've just logged into our online banking and the council took another direct debit payment yesterday. I need to ring them tomorrow to complain about them taking the payment and to chase up the refund we're owed. I want to be in possession of all the facts when I call so I want to work out how much they actually owe us. So here's the question: when you move out of a property, do the council charge you council tax for the day you move out or not?
?
