Please note: A common misconception is that if you notified us last year you don’t need to this year.  Unfortunately the information cannot be used again, so households need to let us know each year even if their details haven’t changed. Contrary to popular belief, people are also not automatically registered even if they pay council tax. Registering is particularly important for anyone who has recently moved home.
