Why do you pay double tax, how legitimate is it? You have the right to refuse or contact the IRS and they will stop it.
If I were you, I would contact https://www.councilratings.co.uk/ to clarify these points, but if you are comfortable with this, she will continue to collect the tax for the sake of her mortgage.
