Council Tax
Received: 22 December 2022
Dear Sir or Madam,
Upon inspection of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and various other legislation, I cannot find within any subsections any legal standing, obliging me to pay council tax, even if the council does deem me to be liable. I can only assume council tax is a request, however, I'm open to being corrected, after being shown by you, specifically what exactly obliges me to take liability. For clarity, I am not a corporation.
Sometimes legislation can be misinterpreted. I want to know exactly what information is being used by this council to take the stance it does. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 provide the following;
1. Legislation(s) you can & may use, to create an obligation for any man/woman to pay
2. Subsequent sections you can & may use, to create an obligation for any man/woman to pay
I understand I am entitled to a response within 20 days of receipt of this request. I also understand that you have a legal obligation to prove the obligation of those you require council tax payments from, under the council tax (administration & enforcement) regulations 1992. If the information cannot be supplied, I will be left to assume there are no obligations that make me liable to pay council tax & that it is just a request.
Yours faithfully,
Solomon Salmadi
