Council Tax

 

Anglia Revenues Partnership (ARP) runs our Council Tax, Housing and Council Tax benefits and Business rates services on behalf of St Edmundsbury Borough Council. The Anglia Revenues Partnership (ARP) is currently made up of Revenues Services for Breckland Council, East Cambs District Council, Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council, who are working together to provide a quality Council Tax, Business Rates and Benefits Service for all our residents.

You can still see someone about your query in person at our Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill Offices.

Householders are being warned about two Council Tax scams currently operating in the St Edmundsbury area:

  • Residents are contacted by callers telling them they are entitled to a large Council Tax refund, they are then asked for their bank details in order to send them the money owed.

The council would never cold call and ask for bank details. Should a resident become at all suspicious they should telephone St Edmundsbury Borough Council on 01284 763233 and ask to speak to one of the Council Tax team. Scam calls can be reported to Consumer Direct on 0845 040 506.

  • Letters which claim they are entitled to a Council Tax refund because their property is in a higher band than their neighbour's home. Residents in Haverhill have been sent letters from a company which claims that they can reduce the banding and negotiate a refund. The letter cites the Government announcement that Council Tax banding of domestic properties has been cancelled.
