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.
