Posted - 22 May 2009 : 18:05:30 You can only put the previous years council tax debt into the bankruptcy ie year end March 2009. Not the current year.ie this years council tax you technically have until March 2010 to pay, though if you get into arrears you will face recovery action.
If you are a couple and only one goes bankrupt the other party will be solely liable for the council tax debt
Hope this clarifies things

If it is a joint debt, then on your bankrutpcy the debt would pass to your partner.
