Council Tax Reduction
If you are on a low income, Council Tax Reduction can reduce the amount of Council Tax you are asked to pay. The level of reduction awarded depends on your individual circumstances, including your income, savings, family needs and anyone else living in your household. Eligible households may receive a reduction of up to 100% of their Council Tax bill.
