Council Tax Benefit
Where you or your partner have to pay Council Tax you may be able to claim a reduction in the form of Council Tax Benefit.
The amount of reduction is dependent upon your income, your savings and your circumstances, but may be as much as the total Council Tax charge for your property.
You will not qualify for a reduction if you (together with your partner if you have one) have savings of more than £16,000. Also, if you live in a property in Council Tax band F, G or H you will only be entitled to Council Tax Rebate up to the amount of Council Tax for Band E.
If you are a single person responsible for paying Council Tax and you share your home with another person over 18 who is:
- not your partner, or;
- not paying you rent, or;
- on a low income.
Then you may be able to claim second adult rebate.
See Benefits - Housing and Council Tax for more information or telephone 0114 2736777.
