Council Tax Valuation Dispute

Summary

The case of Wilson v Josephine Coll addresses whether a domestic property in disrepair can be classified as a dwelling for council tax purposes. The tribunal ruled that a property remains a hereditament, and thus a dwelling, even if it is in disrepair, as long as it can be rendered suitable for occupation with reasonable repairs. The legal framework includes sections 22 and 23 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, which mandate maintaining a valuation list for each local billing authority area.
