Council Tax reduction
If you are on a low income or receive certain benefits, you can get help when paying your Council Tax bill. This is known as Council Tax Reduction.
You can make a claim whether you own your home or are renting.
Your employment status will not have an impact on your claim.
To work out how much hep you can get we take into account:
- how much income you have coming in each week or month (earnings and/or benefits)
- how much you have in savings and investments
- who lives in your household and their circumstances. In some circumstances there will be deductions from your benefit if you have an adult non dependant living with you
- how much Council Tax you have to pay
If you want to make a claim please go to the Citizen Access Benefits portal.
