Council Tax Reduction Scheme for Low Income Households
The Council Tax Reduction scheme ensures that households on the lowest incomes have their bill reduced. From 1 April 2017, working age customers will have to pay a minimum contribution of 10% of their council tax charge.
In certain cases, pensioners and working age customers who receive certain state benefits due to their disabilities, are entitled to a 100% reduction and will not have to pay council tax.
For more information about the council tax reduction scheme and other benefits such as Housing Benefit and Universal Credit see newforest.gov.uk/benefits or contact our Benefits Team on 01590 646121 or by e-mail at benefits@nfdc.gov.uk
