You may be eligible for Council Tax Reduction if all the below apply and you:
- live in the UK
- pay Council Tax
- have less than £6,000 in savings, investments or property (other than the home you live in)
- a weekly income of less than £433.99
If you claim Universal Credit
You can apply for Council Tax Reduction if you’re on Universal Credit.
If you have only just claimed Universal Credit and you have received your salary for the first month of the claim, then that amount must be counted and you may not qualify for Council Tax Reduction until the following month.
These are the Government regulations and we are unable to make changes to these.
How much will I get
The reduction you receive is based on your weekly income.
