Hi, need some advice, i am currently living in an annex to a main house on a statutory tenancy agreement, council tax is included in the rent, I have found out that the annex is not registered seperately for council tax, so, should I be paying it? I have my own lockable front door, seperate kitchen and bathroom facilities and have to have my own TV licence. There is a connecting door to the main house but this is kept bolted on my side.

Your TV Tax liability is different to council tax liability. For TV Tax purposes you need a separate licence for each room in a shared house if you don't live together as one household or have the TV in a communal area.
Welcome to the boards and thanks for posting your question.
I'm not sure of the exact answer but I did find this page on the Citizen's Advice Bureau's website; scroll down to the section called 'Properties exempt from council tax' (http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/your_money/tax_index_ew/council_tax.htm).
Of particular relevance to you is this point;
Alternatively, you can contact your local council and they will be able to give you more information.
Hope this helps.
