In the coming months we will be moving Trafford's website over to this new (beta) site. Your feedback is welcome, helping us to improve and adapt to your needs.

Council Tax refunds

If you have received a bill that shows your Council Tax account is in credit, you can request a refund for that amount.

Use the online form below to request a refund.

Request a Council Tax refund

Completing this form does not guarantee that you will receive a refund.

We will check your account to see if you are in credit and whether a refund can be issued.

All refunds are issued by BACS into the bank account specified on the online form.

We may have to obtain permission from all the people named on the Council Tax bill to issue a refund. We will contact you if we need further authority.

We will be unable to give you a refund if you:

  • owe Council Tax for previous years
  • owe Council Tax on another account
  • owe us money on another council service

In any of these cases, the refund will go toward the amount you owe us.
