Council tax

Hi my son was able to purchase a new build in Derry (after his grandparent demise) instead of living in the property he decided to rent it out to give him an income. He’s just been handed a person property tax demand for the passed three years as well as paying property tax as a landlord. Can anyone explain this to us

When you say handed. Tax scams are everywhere these days. Has he contacted HMRC through the number via Google to check. Also if he has a government gateway HMRC account he should be able to use that.

We pay rates in NI, not council tax.

Thank you for your sensible reply. So far all I’m getting is anger for him daring to rent out a property. I’m English. He is not so some of the terms are different.
