Is it February and March that are the Council Tax free months for most people?

Yes! You generally pay over 10 months so if you're up to date with your payments then Feb and March are 'free'.

Yes, Feb and March are 'free' months. Same for water rates here too :-)
Good job though as all of our birthdays (apart from the little girl in the house) are in February and March!

Yes feb and mar for me although last year am sure it was just March.

It depends whether you are on a 10 or 12 month plan. If you are on a 10 month plan and you have had no change in your direct debit or no new bills sent then you will have probably have finished paying in January. It's not free though. It makes me want to scream about 100 times a day when people say it's free. ( bet you can't guess what my job is!).

I think the OP meant payment-free - free from having to pay actual money those months... rather than free....

Brilliant I'd forgotten that. Shame the annual insurance bill arrives on Valantines day and wipes all that out. Yup that's how sad my life is other people get declarations of love, I get an annual bill!

listsandbudgets · 22/01/2015 18:37

and the 2 months council tax and the insurance equal almost identical amounts :(
