Basura(Rubbish) Tax
Hi,
Can anyone advise me when the rubbish tax bills are issued ?I received notification from our lawyer last August that payment was due and the bill shows a period of 25/7/18 to 5/10/18. The bill was paid and a direct debit was to have been set up and I was advised that the payment was twice yearly.
On our last visit at the beginning of June I received a letter headed "Third attempt mailbox" and realised by the amount on it that this was a final demand for our rubbish tax. I have no recollection of receiving any other requests for payment and stupidly on my part assumed the bank had set up the direct debit as they had advised me they would do.
The period on this bill is 1/3/19 to 6/5/19. I paid the bill and the clerk in the bank showed me how to set up a direct debit.
My question is: if the bills are due twice yearly,when is the next bill due as the dates on the two bills I have do not make any sense to me?
Can you also advise when the bills for the IBI are due as I am now paranoid about missing bill payments?(This will be our 1st liability for this bill as we did not own the house on January 1st 2018)
Our lawyer has POA and I was under the impression that they would set up direct debits for all necessary payments due but this does not appear to be the case.I have tried on 3 separate occasions to contact them without any response.Will obviously have to pay them a visit when we are next out.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
