Text: Did you know? About the Council Tax Reduction scheme. Photo of a hand tapping the keys of a calculator.Several working-age households may be eligible for Council Tax Reduction and have not yet made a claim.

Working-age households who have a weekly household income of less than £462.99 (income is wages, Universal Credit, DWP Benefits etcetera), savings of less than £6,000 (includes investments and property) and are liable to pay Council Tax, may be eligible for Council Tax Reduction and have not yet made a claim.

Council Tax Reduction is a scheme run by each local authority, to help those households on a low income with their Council Tax payments.  Applications should be made via the council’s website at https://www.arun.gov.uk/council-tax-reduction

We would encourage anyone who feels that they may be eligible to apply.
