Council Tax & Business Rates Refund Request Form
Please use this form to request a refund of overpaid Council Tax or Business Rates.
Refunds are only issued in instances where a valid overpayment is made on an account.
If payment was made by direct debit, the refund will be credited to the same bank account;
you do not need to complete this form.
We do not refund by cheque, so if you are not paying by Direct Debit, we will need your
bank details to refund the overpayment.

If moving within the borough rather than refund the overpayment any credit would normally
be transferred to your new account in Harrow. Please provide your new Council Tax or
Business Rate Account Number so that this can be done for you. You will then be sent a
new bill telling you the reduced amount to pay.
In certain circumstances, payment to a party other than that named on the bill may be
appropriate. Please provide the alternative payees details and enclose full details of the
reason with documentary evidence with this form.
