Caritas specialises in helping not-for-profit social housing providers recover overpayments made on current and historical council tax and business rates accounts. Our aim is to recover any overspent money for our clients as efficiently as possible.
Many not-for-profit social housing providers are failing to claim the correct reliefs and exemptions that they are entitled to. This can often go undetected for years, resulting in significant overpayments being made across both domestic and non-domestic properties.
We will review your entire current and historical property portfolio, including owned, leased, sold, vacant and demolished properties. Our expert team will identify errors, miscalculations, duplicate payments and overpayments, and will process applications for reliefs and exemptions, on your behalf.
We have recovered millions of pounds in overpaid council tax and business rates for some of the largest social housing providers across the country. We come highly recommended and are specialists in the fields of council tax and business rates for not-for-profit social housing providers.
We work on a contingency basis meaning there is no financial risk to your business; we fully fund the project, and our fee is calculated as a percentage of recovered funds and reduced costs.

Unlocking Revenue for Social Housing
Council Tax
The management of council tax is often a frustrating process for social housing providers, due to the sheer number of properties owned and managed. As a result, council tax is an area of significant overspend within the social housing sector.
There are over 330 councils in England alone and, following the Localism Act 2011, each council sets out its own rules and requirements for charitable exemption. Because of this, many social housing providers haven’t received the correct exemptions, or have been put off even applying in the first instance.
Caritas has a comprehensive understanding of all current and historical legislation, as well as individual rules and processes adopted by each council. We have built excellent working relationships and work closely with many councils, allowing us to bypass the standard route of communication, to deliver fast results for our clients.
We conduct a detailed review of your current and historical council tax liabilities, to identify where you have overpaid. We then make the correct applications and amendments on your behalf, taking away the stress of endless form-filling and dealing with non-responsive councils.
Contact Us to see how we can help generate an additional revenue stream to help bridge the gap between your current revenue, and continual rising costs within the social housing sector.
