Electerol roll and council tax?
Former Member

Ive just got my credit rating, and noticed its not all that brilliant. In the notes section it says some factors that could be affecting it. One was NOT being on the electerol roll. I want to go onto the electerol roll, but at the moment, im living in my gf's house (where she does actually pay council tax) although she hasnt declared that im living there. If i go onto the electerol roll for her house, without declaring that im living there and paying council tax, is there any way they can find out?
i mean if i register, will they make a check or anything????????:impissed:
Please help as i dont know what to do...

If you are living there then you should declare it anyway.
There is a system of hierarchy of liability which is used to work out who is liable for council tax if more than one person lives there. The hierarchy goes as follows:
Even if you are found to be jointly liable for the council tax there is nothing stopping your current arrangement continuing (although if your girlfriend is claiming the discount provided to single occupants then this will end and teh full amount will be due). You do need to declare that you are living at the property as this may alter the amount due.
You can contact Citizens Advice for more specific advice on your situation.
