Can  someone please point me in the right direction re Wealth Tax.  Some people on our development have been down to the local town hall and have been given a piece of paper which tells them they are not liable to pay Wealth Tax.  They have been here since 2007 and gained residency sometime during that period.  today they have been told the Town Hall made a mistake and confused Wealth Tax with Community Tax and, indeed, it is due and must be paid by 31 December, failing which further steps may be taken which may include impounding your property.  Fairly scary.  In our case, we have been here since October 2006 living on a building site until mid 2007 ish.  Our development has still not been formerly adopted by the Council so we are not yet paying Council Tax.  We do not have residency as yet.  Unfortunately, one of those things on our list of things to do!  Can someone tell me, therefore, are we liable to pay Wealth Tax and is the scaremongering mentioned above correct?  Any comments would be welcome.

Thanks.
