They can be taken into account when the householder fills in the form and
sends it to the council. There's a little box which says something like "if
you sign here, you believe that all the above details are true, etc, etc".

employee to presume those telling the truth are guilty of lying (after all
he's only a servant and an employee of honest taxpayers).
