First up , check what your neighbours are paying by going to the Valuation Office Agency ( VOA ) in England or the Scottish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If you are paying more than your neighbours - then work out what your house was worth in 1991 .

Martin also revealed that single adults living alone should get a 25 % discount on council tax .
But the Money Saving Expert added that people do n't need to live alone in order to claim it .
According to Martin , it 's all about qualifying adults , so students , carers , children and others can all be disregarded for council tax .
In some cases every person living in a house can be excluded - which means that no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was also revealed that claims on this can also be backdated too .
For people on certain benefits , there are also discounts of up to 100 per cent .
However - it 's important to add that these are n't automatically applied when you claim the benefit - people will need to check with your local council ( details of your council can be found at www.gov.uk/apply-council-tax-reduction ) .

A 25 per cent discount can be claimed if you live with someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other adults , or only adults who are also disregarded for council tax purposes or a 100 per cent discount - if you have a severe mental impairment and live alone .

What did Martin say?
Speaking to viewers on his self-titled Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV, he said: "You could be owed thousands of pounds in a host of different ways".
The Money Saving Expert revealed what steps people can take to reduce how much they are paying - and claim back what they are owed.
These include:
Check your council tax band
It is estimated that about 400,000 homes nationwide are in the wrong council tax band - and those who have paid too much could be owed overpayments from the last 27 years.
On his show, Martin highlighted that one viewer claimed back £3,300 as a result.
He said: "I came up for with this system back in 2007 - it's got two checks to it."
First up, check what your neighbours are paying by going to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) in England or the Scottish Assessors Association (SAA) in Scotland.
If you are paying more than your neighbours - then work out what your house was worth in 1991.
Nationwide Building Society have a free online tool in order to check this.
Once the value has been checked, households will be able to find out what band they should have been put in.
Martin added: "It only applies if both check's show you are in too high a band.
If households get it wrong - and it is revealed that the neighbours are in the wrong band - then they could see their bills rise, while yours remain the same.
Discounts for lower occupancy
Martin also revealed that single adults living alone should get a 25% discount on council tax.
But the Money Saving Expert added that people don't need to live alone in order to claim it.
According to Martin, it's all about qualifying adults, so students, carers, children and others can all be disregarded for council tax.
In some cases every person living in a house can be excluded - which means that no tax is due at all. It was also revealed that claims on this can also be backdated too.
Discounts for benefit claimants
For people on certain benefits, there are also discounts of up to 100 per cent.
However - it's important to add that these aren't automatically applied when you claim the benefit - people will need to check with your local council (details of your council can be found at www.gov.uk/apply-council-tax-reduction).
The discount is on top of any benefits or universal credit that householders receive, but again the reduction amount can depend on the council and circumstances.
An example of this includes - where you live, your income, if children live with you, if other adults live with you.
Some councils can also let households backdate the reduction, but this depends on the individual council.
Also, if you - or someone you live with - have a disability, a health condition or are classed as a carer, then they could be overpaying on council tax without even knowing it.
A 25 per cent discount can be claimed if you live with someone with a severe mental impairment and no other adults, or only adults who are also disregarded for council tax purposes or a 100 per cent discount - if you have a severe mental impairment and live alone.
Again, the claims for this are back-dated, which mean you could get huge amounts back.
Help due to the Coronavirus pandemic
Some councils are helping people who have lost income due to the impacts of Covid-19.
The Local Government Association have advised people to check the website of their local council to see who qualifies for a tax break.
The measure has been made available from the Treasury - which is aimed at helping working age people who are on a Local Council Tax Support. As a result, those who already pay less than £150 a year will not pay council tax at all.
Adapted your home? You could get cash back
Those who have made changes to their home for a disabled resident could also get cash back.
However - instead of a discount, residents may instead be able to get your council tax band lowered.
Sitting on your cash
According to Martin, many people pay council tax a month or a year ahead - and as a result, if you move house, they keep it until you ask for it back.
If you have moved house in the past few years, search for council tax refunds on your old council's site.

”

Eastleigh Borough Council claims that in 2014, the then-MP Mike Thornton, secured funding from Highways England for ‘low noise resurfacing’ of the M27 between Junction 5 and Junction 7.
Local leaders say that residents have, for years, been complaining about the noise near their homes in West End and Hedge End, caused by the concrete surface on the motorway, but nothing has been done.
At a meeting of Eastleigh Borough Council in July 2018, it was agreed that if Highways England did not comply with the commitment, then the government would be held to account.
Lib Dem councillor Keith House, leader of council, said: “It was extremely frustrating that our concerns about noise from the M27 weren’t addressed from the outset, and that a solution wasn’t included in the original Smart Motorways project.
“Pressure from the Council has at least renewed a commitment for a noise-reducing surface, eventually, though there is still no commitment for a date.
“Nearby residents have suffered through the construction work and, without the appropriate road surfacing, noise will continue impact local communities until the new surface is in place.”

Across England and Wales , the average overall cost per prisoner was £42,700 in 2019-20 , an increase of 3.7 per cent on the year before .
Young offender institutions for boys aged 15 to 17 had the highest costs on average , at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the least – £34,800 per inmate .

Frances Crook, chief executive of the charity Howard League for Penal Reform, said decades spent funding an "overcrowded and overburdened prison system" have held the country back.
