Recommendation (the committee's words)
The process for obtaining a liability order is inefficient and can hinder, rather than aid, the collection of unpaid council tax. We therefore strongly recommend that the Government make the liability order process less burdensome, including by allowing bulk applications, virtual applications, or both, so long as residents remain able to raise objections.
