Council Tax Reduction is administered by local councils, so eligibility rules, income limits, savings rules and the amount of help available can vary, particularly for working-age residents. Pension-age schemes are generally based on national rules, while working-age schemes are set locally within legal requirements. Your council may also apply different rules for non-dependants, people who are self-employed or households receiving other benefits. Check your council’s Council Tax Reduction policy and apply through its official website, as Universal Credit does not automatically include this support.
