COUNCIL TAX SUPPORT SCHEME CONSULTATION

We are asking for your views on our proposed Council Tax Support Scheme (CTS) for 2025/26.

Council Tax Support provides essential financial assistance to people on low incomes, helping them manage their Council Tax bills.

Every year, the Council reviews the scheme for working-age applicants in the area to determine if any changes are necessary.

Following an extensive review, we are proposing modifications to the scheme for 2025/26, rather than major changes. These improvements will make the scheme:

• More generous, offering enhanced protection for vulnerable families.
• More efficient, streamlining processes to reduce administrative costs.

We would welcome your views as part of this consultation.  You can complete this consultation by clicking on the following link:

Closing date for submission of responses is midday on 15 November 2024.
