Argh! Assumption alert by me!. Re-read the post. Poster doesn't say they own a place in Bristol just that they pay CT there. So the theory now is:AnOwlCalledSage wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 5:36 pmI like your thinking... but they have admitted to owning two assets worth cleaning out!ArthurWankspittle wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 5:06 pmIf they play it right surely they only end up unemployed, on benefits and paying their CT arrears at £5 / week out of their benefits. I can't see the council bothering with bailiffs if they are getting the arrears somehow eventually.
Of course if they get it wrong they will lose benefits for deliberately leaving their job and get jailed for deliberately avoiding paying CT.
Exhibit (A) Council tax owed of £2432.
Exhibit (B) A second home worth at least (if we take option "Band A" rather than "E") a minimum of £80,000.
Rents in Bristol
Buys home in Cornwall, possibly with inheritance or savings
Gets FO sized CT bill from Cornwall
Asks daughter to go on Bristol CT, puts self as being in Cornwall (therefore no second home)
Gets dobbed in on CT, both face prosecution presumably for false single occupancy declaration.
Still owes FO sized CT bill from Cornwall
then see my quoted comments above.
