Access Islington – council tax enquiries

Due to technical issues, Access Islington is currently unable to help with council tax queries over the phone or at our hubs.

You can still manage your council tax online through My Islington, including viewing your bill and making payments.

We’re working to resolve this as quickly as possible and are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you need to speak to someone about council tax, please try again later.

Estate parking VAT charges

VAT on estate parking applies differently depending on whether you are a Council or other tenant, freeholder or business

Council rent and leaseholder service charge payers

Islington council tenants and leaseholders, paying rent or service charges directly to the council, can have up to two estate parking facilities without incurring VAT.

VAT applies to the third and subsequent estate parking facilities allocated to them.

Council estate freeholders

Owners of a freehold property situated within the grounds of a council estate, who pay service charges directly to the council, incur VAT on all estate parking facilities allocated  to them.

Non-Council rent and service charge payers

Anyone who does not pay rent or service charges directly to the council incurs VAT on all estate parking facilities rented in their own name, including children of council tenants or those who sub-let the property from a leaseholder.

Council commercial business leaseholders

Where a business is leasing a commercial property from the council they do not incur VAT on any estate parking facilities rented by them that are situated in the same location as the commercial premises.
