Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

Rating information database and rates records - Notification of change in circumstances

34: Effect of notice on liability for rates

You could also call this:

"Noticing something doesn't stop you paying old rates"

Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

If you give notice under sections 31 to 33, it does not mean you do not have to pay rates that were due before you gave the notice. You still have to pay those rates. The notice only affects what happens after you give it, not what happened before.
