How we decide your Council Tax Support

Part of: Council Tax Support Scheme

Contents

If you are of working age, we work out how much you are entitled to by looking at:

  • the number of people in your household
  • the money you have coming in
  • if you are in receipt of Universal Credit
  • any benefits you get
  • any savings you have
  • the amount of your Council Tax bill
