Yes, you can receive a refund if your council tax band is changed and you have overpaid. According to the City of Lincoln Council, if you believe you are entitled to a refund due to an overpayment, the process depends on whether you are still making payments or not.
Here's a quick overview of the refund process:
| Situation | Refund Process |
|---|---|
| Still making payments | Your scheduled payments will be reduced by the overpaid amount. |
| No longer making payments (e.g., moved away/exempt) | You will receive a bill indicating the credit amount, and a refund will be processed via bank transfer. |
Before applying for a refund, make sure you have the necessary documents such as proof of identification, your Council Tax account number, and your bank details. For more information, you can start your Council Tax refund application here.
