Council Tax Support

Before you apply

Council Tax Support is a reduction in the amount of Council Tax you pay.

If you live on your own, you may be entitled to a single person discount.

You can apply for Council Tax Support if you:

• are on a low income or already claiming benefits
• own or rent your home
• already pay Council Tax
• have less than £10,000 in total capital

You can also claim Council Tax Support if you, or your partner:

• are of pension age
• have less than £16,000 in savings, unless you or your partner receives Guaranteed Credit

What you’ll get

We’ll work out how much Council Tax Support you’ll get based on:

• the total income of your household
• the number of adults and children living in your house
• whether you’re receiving any other benefits

You can visit GOV.UK to see which benefits you may be entitled to, including Council Tax Support.
