Council Tax Reduction Scheme 2024/25 consultation
Status: Past
Council Tax Reduction is a discount for Council Tax. The level of discount is based on the income of the household. Currently the maximum discount for pension age households is 100% and for working age households 80% of Council Tax liability.
The Council can only make changes to the working age scheme as the Council Tax Reduction scheme for pensioners is prescribed by Government.
The CTR scheme in Rother currently helps around 6401 households on a low income to pay their council tax. Of these, 3,648 households are of working age and their eligibility is calculated using Rother's Local Council Tax Reduction Scheme. 2,753 are of pension age and their eligibility is calculated using the national scheme.
