Council Tax - consent, contract and the law
Occasionally, we receive requests from various groups or people who believe they are bound only by statute laws they consent to. Being a member of one of these groups (for example - Freeman on the Land, or a person that relies on archaic or repealed laws), does not exempt you from paying Council Tax. Find out more about challenges to the legality of Council Tax.
