Council Tax Reduction Scheme consultation responses
During October and November 2020, the council consulted on the following five areas of the Council Tax Reduction Scheme to recommend changes from 1 April 2021:
- Self-employed customers
- Capital limits
- Backdated claims
- Not applying changes to small variations in discount levels (minimal level)
- Matching income assumptions on housing benefits to Universal Credit calculations
A total of 114 responses have been received in response to the consultation. All responses will help to inform the final decision on the 2021-22 scheme. The results will be reported to the council's Corporate Board on 12 January 2021.
