Council Tax Reduction Scheme
If you or your partner are on a low income, you may be entitled to a reduction in the amount of Council Tax that you need to pay. The reduction will depend on your Council Tax liability, your income and savings, the size of your household, and your household’s income and savings. For more information and to make an application, see here.
If you are receiving a Council Tax reduction, you must tell us immediately, in writing, about any changes in your circumstances which might affect your entitlement. This could include changes to your income, changes to the people living in your household or changes to their income. You must tell us within one calendar month of the change.
The Council also has discretionary powers to reduce liability for Council Tax in relation to individual cases, or class(es) of cases, that it may determine and where national discounts and exemptions cannot be applied.
