A couple with children may qualify for Council Tax Reduction, sometimes called Council Tax Support, if their household income and savings are within their local council’s limits. Each council runs its own scheme, so the amount and treatment of earnings, Universal Credit, benefits and children can differ across the UK. Couples normally cannot claim the 25% single-person Council Tax discount, but they may still receive a reduction through the local scheme. Apply through your council’s website or check GOV.UK for the relevant authority; eligibility will be decided using your household’s individual circumstances.
