What are the council tax rates in Edinburgh, Scotland?

Council Tax debt from 2004-2005 Scotland help?

• My boyfriend discovered a few weeks ago that he owes some money to Glasgow Council for the period 2004-2005. He did not realise he owed this and we are very confused as to why they haven't contacted him until now about. he has been on the phone to the Council and the debt company several times to try and get to the bottom of this as he thought he paid the Council Tax for that year but thinks he's figured out what's happened (too complicated to go into). So my question is, if it turns out he does indeed owe this money is he still liable for it after all this time or does it become written off? Ive read several different things about this, some saying its written of after 6 years, some saying after 20 years for council tax and some saying if you contact them then the clock is effectively reset to 0 anyway so we'd still have another 6 years (or whatever it is) before its written off. Sorry for such a long post, hope someone can help.

• Answer:

  Normally it's written off after six years. i don't think there is an exception for Council Tax, or about the 'resetting' thing, but if I was home, I'd avoid them til the six years is up.
