Request a refund on your Council Tax account
Council Tax refunds
Council Tax payments are mostly paid in advance, so if your circumstances change you may be owed a refund.
Who is eligible?
We will issue a refund if you move and do not owe any other money to Birmingham City Council.
If you are owed a refund and are moving to a property within the city, we can:
- transfer the credit to your new Council Tax account
- issue a refund as a Bacs payment or cheque
Who can the refund be issued to?
Only the person who paid the Council Tax can request a refund. We may ask for proof of payment to make sure that the personal details match the Council Tax account and the refund application.
If the Council Tax account is in joint names and the refund is only being made to one of the Council Tax payers, you will need to confirm that the individual not receiving the refund has authorised this as part of the form.
You must ensure all the details within this form are correct. By completing and submitting this form, you are signing an agreement electronically.
