council tax

[pd1gtk]

hello. I am currently applying for a Tier 2 (3 yr) visa. I was previously in the UK on a student visa from Sep/15 to Jan/17. My course ended in Sep/15 but I stayed on till January as I was appearing for medical licensing exams. After the end of my course I moved in with a student friend of mine who was not paying council tax.
My question is will the UKBA look into any unpaid council tax bills since I have to mention the address I was staying in as well as the period of stay in the Tier 2 online application. Thank you

Was your name on the council tax?

Yes, from September to December primarily because the new tenant (student) in my old room had not registered with the council. After I left UK apparently a person came asking about how many people were staying in the house but my friend told them I had left in September.

Best to be honest and pay up. Call up council and check if you owe them.
Why risk a rejection and a lot of money(COS, application fees...)
