Council Tax Reduction

If you're on benefits or low income you can apply for the Council Tax Reduction scheme.

How much your bill can be reduced

How much your bill will be reduced by depends on how much your Council Tax is and:

  • whether you're of working or pension age
  • your income and capital (including benefits, earnings and savings)
  • your circumstances (for example, whether you have children or a partner)
  • how many children live with you
  • how many adults live with you

Use the benefits calculator to work out how much your Council Tax bill might be reduced by. The calculator is free to use, and the details you provide are anonymous.

You must continue paying while we decide and cancel your discount if your situation changes.
