If you are not convicted for not paying council tax, you are fine. It doesn't matter who pays the council tax.Wee wrote:Can anyone tell me if we have to be paying council tax to get ILR? Our landlord is paying it for us so we do not have anything under our name. Does the home office do checks to see if you are paying?
They do though seem to check what council tax is being paid on a property and do pull people in for interviews if they are unhappy (even if the person hasn't been convicted...)senthil78 wrote:If you are not convicted for not paying council tax, you are fine.

As long as you have not dodged CT pretending to be a student or any CT exzempted category - you should be fine...Wee wrote:Can anyone tell me if we have to be paying council tax to get ILR?

Where do you fit in the list?Who is responsible for paying the bill? wrote:There's one Council Tax bill for each home. Usually the person living in the property has to pay the bill. Spouses and partners who live together are both responsible for paying the bill.
The person at the top or nearest to the top of the following list has to pay the bill:
• lives in the property and owns it
• lives in the property and has a lease (this includes 'assured tenants' under the Housing Act 1988)
• lives in the property and is a 'statutory' or 'secure' tenant
• lives in the property and isn't a tenant but has permission to live there
• lives in the property (for example a squatter)
• has a lease of six months or more on the property, but doesn't live there
• owns the property but doesn't live there
