I have just started an IVA n looking through the expenditure form hardly none of it matches!! My council tax arrears are included in the IVA and have been told by the council I won't need to pay until next year! But the expenditure allows me for council tax. I obviously was so desperate I went in blindly but none of it seems to match and I don't quite understand how I am going to succeed without failure

Hi and welcome,
If your arrears are included then you may be ok but not totally sure - which company are you with?

As council tax is a debt owing then in the first year it all goes to the iva then in following years you pay as normal.
Someone discovered a loophole that set a precedent.

Your payments should be higher for the first 6-7 months until March of next year. The council tax is a debt so you do not have to pay it for the current year but you will need to do it going forward from 2016/17. Your IVA payments should decrease by the amount of the monthly council tax payment.
