RESIDENTS in Taunton Deane are being warned about bogus calls being made to households in the area about council tax.
The caller states that they are from a company which, for a fee, can arrange to reduce the household’s council tax.
This company is not working for Taunton Deane Council, nor does the authority have any companies working for it in that way.
A Deane House spokesman said: “If you get a call from someone saying they are working on behalf of Taunton Deane Council to reduce council tax charges and asking for a fee, we advise you to end the call straightaway.”
For advice about Council Tax Band reductions, discounts, exemptions or Council Tax Support please visit the Council’s website www.tauntondeane.gov.uk or call 01823 356356.
