There is No Legal Obligation to notify a council of residence for Council Tax

There is No Legal Obligation to notify a council of residence for Council Tax

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ8jn0akoL8 

The case law that you are not under legal obligation to provide the council with your details was affirmed by the Appeal court at point 19 in D, R. v (Rev 1) [2019] EWCA Crim 209 (05 February 2019) 

https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Crim/2019/209.html

"There can be no real doubt that on the assumed facts, and assuming that the defendant had herself been resident throughout at this property, as well as being its owner, she would have been legally obliged to pay the due amount of council tax. If she did not, the council could, on demand made under the statutory scheme, seek recovery of the sums due in the civil courts. But that cannot of itself, as we see it, connote that she was obliged in law to notify the council of her continued residence. It is quite wrong to equate a liability to pay with a liability to notify. It may be, as the judge thought, that one might have expected to find such a provision as to notification in the statutory scheme. But that was a matter for Parliament to decide. The fact is, as we have said, that such a provision simply is not there, either within the primary legislation or in subordinate legislation made pursuant to the provisions of the 1992 Act itself."

Council tax nonpayment cases - what on earth is going on?

Council tax nonpayment cases - what on earth is going on?

"Are we in the realm of council tax nonpayment cases being civil in nature, but not following the civil procedure rules because local authorities have special powers granted to them by the State, on behalf of itself, PURELY to benefit its own agents? Or are we in the realms of a criminal case that is woefully outside of the criminal procedure rules, possibly making all cases ultra vires or void ab initio, or both."

"In conclusion, I have to say, that perhaps these council tax cases constitute, as Martin Geddes states in his Substack “part of a wider system of treasonous harvesting of the public for money. Although it is in the adjacent topic of Penalty Charge Notices (i.e. fake fines), this video is a succinct and thorough introduction to the illegality involved. Specifically, it violates the constitutional protections of the Bill of Rights 1689, which is very much still the law of the land in England. Endlessly reasserting authority you do not have does not make it so; it just deepens the injustice”."

The LOBO debts that are so high they cannot be paid off

"UK local authorities are £122bn in debt, with much of it owed to lenders and one council owing £2.9bn alone, according to BBC analysis. Councils owe £97.8bn to lenders, analysis of data from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has revealed, or £1,455 per resident, as of September last year.

Meanwhile some of the corporate councils are paying back on the massive sums owed, sums which should never have been 'borrowed' from the banks in the first place.
"However, the council managed to pay off £73.4m last year, meaning as of March 31, the sum owed reduced from £651.5m to £578.1m."

https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/article/28533/70m-paid-off-council-debts-but-more-borrowing-may-be-ahead

The fraudulent debt levels have been increasing steadily, compared to the LOBO loan charts previously posted. Many corporate councils have only just managed to pay the interest on the debts, while their executives enjoy huge pay scales, bonuses, expenses, redundancy settlements & copper-bottomed pensions (30+% of all Council Tax).
When enough of local inhabitants realise how badly they have been robbed by the private-for-profit corporate councils, how so many services have been slashed to pay for private profits, staff costs and private pensions, they will probably want to cancel any further payments and demand accountability.

Dear Sir,

We are confused as to why XYZ Council is sending a summons for a magistrates court for council tax when it is a criminal venue?

It is our understanding that debts are civil cases and are always heard in a county court.

A magistrates court is a criminal court for summary offences such as traffic, assault or either-way

offences such as theft and handling stolen goods.

A summons for an alleged debt is usually a civil matter held in a County Court. Since a council tax

summons hearing is held in a criminal venue (XYZ Magistrates Court) yet is civil in nature;

Please confirm the jurisdiction of the court and which legislation and court rules apply.

Since a council tax application for a liability order is held in a criminal venue, yet in nature is a civil matter, please confirm the jurisdiction of the court and which legislation and CPR rules apply to those hearings.

Under The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA)

I would like to request proof of where the resident’s Council Tax payments are being spent.

1 - I am writing to request a copy of the expenditure statement for the year 2021 to 2022. I would

like the full transactional list of all of the expenses paid by the council. I do not require the profit

and loss spreadsheet. I do not want to see percentages but itemised proof in pounds (£s) as to where the annual council tax is being spent.

2 - I would like to know if my council tax funds the Police Service, Ambulance Service, waste collection and Schools.

3 - If the above services are being funded I would like to know the percentages for each.

The Data shall be provided within 1 calendar month, pursuant to Article 12(3) UK GDPR.

Kind regards,

Liability Orders: there has never once been a liability order granted by a magistrate’s court on this land for the non- payment of council tax. Only the application was granted. A court order is something of material substance that must comply with the civil procedure rules. This must contain upon it a court seal and the name in clear text of the Judge or Magistrate. No Such document or record exists because that was not the service that was requested by the Council. 

 ''It stands to reason that unless the people of the country have powers over their own government, the people will eventually find themselves in a place of tyranny. Unless limitations are placed upon the government and more specifically how it creates legislation, that government will eventually write itself into a position of absolute power, because power ultimately lies with those that can deliver punishment. For true equity to exist, the people must have that authority over their own governing administration; meaning that, in fact, the people govern themselves. The people must not see their government as authority. If government retains the ultimate power to punish without the authority of the people then the people will ultimately be in fear of their government.''

Somerset County Council - a truly rotten council run by criminals!

The employees of the bankrupt corporate councils face losing their jobs and many of the inhabitants will fully agree. The sickening truth about large redundancy deals and copper-bottomed pensions means that these crooks will walk away from their jobs far better off from Public Funds!

Nearly 50 senior Somerset Council officers made redundant as council cuts 200 staff:
https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/nearly-50-senior-somerset-council-9312343

Somerset County Council is one of the top 50 councils in England that has massive private high interest debts. In SCC's case it is bankrupt for the second time after trying to cover up the 'crime scene' of the embezzlement of millions from Somerset's public funds. The local politicians attempted to blame each other but all are culpable! 

And now the disgraceful criminals in Somerset County Council are flogging off more farmland to service the interest on their massive private debts:
https://www.somersetcountygazette.co.uk/news/26424036.somerset-farm-near-a303-sold-off-fund-services/

All the rotten SCC politicians should be sacked without pensions along with their disgraceful unelected bureaucrats that really have been running the county into the ground for decades!

Are the corporate councils terrorist organisations?

We know with certainty that the corporate councils are operating in Fraud, operating illegal 'courts' with non-legally qualified personnel, refusing to provide proof of claim, refusing to enforce the Law on Deed of Assignment for all bailiffs and debt collection agencies, using bullying and harassment on a regular basis, breaking multiple laws while being protected by corporate police and legal systems.

https://newsletter.martingeddes.com/p/are-local-councils-terrorist-organisations

The question remains as to why local people still pay the bankrupt councils a penny? When they realise how badly they have been robbed, the inhabitants will want to stop paying for crime!
