Liability, exemption and discount decisions
Appeals concerning liability, discounts, exemptions, or disabled relief should be made in writing to the below clearly titled as “Appeal”:
Lambeth Council Tax
PO Box 80771
London
SW2 9QQ
Email: counciltax@lambeth.gov.uk
The council has up to two months to respond to your appeal.
Valuation Tribunal
If we feel our original decision was correct and your appeal is turned down, we will contact you to advise. You can then appeal to the Valuation Tribunal, an independent body. The appeal must be made within 2 months of the day we notified you of the result of your original appeal.
You can only appeal to the Valuation Tribunal after you have appealed to the council.

Please note that you must continue to pay your Council Tax while your appeal is being considered.
If you have asked for a reduction in your bill and your appeal is successful, we will send you a new Council Tax bill. The instalments on the new bill will take into account the payments you have already made.

The Valuation Office Agency are responsible for setting the Council Tax bands. Valuation bands are based on property values on 1 April 1991, not what a property is worth today.
If you think your property is in the wrong band you can challenge a Council Tax band by contacting the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) directly:
