How we decide your Council Tax Support

Part of: Council Tax Support Scheme

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

Download the document below for full details of Council Tax Support for working age people.

If you are not of working age, you may already be eligible for Council Tax Support. The availability of support to pensioners is largely determined by government legislation.
