Council Tax Reduction (also called Council Tax Support) can reduce your bill if you are on a low income, receiving benefits, or have limited savings. Each council runs its own scheme, so eligibility, savings limits and the amount of support can differ across the UK; pension-age rules may also differ from working-age rules. Apply through your local council and provide details of your income, household and rent or housing costs. Check your council’s website or GOV.UK for the current 2026 rules, and remember that discounts or exemptions are separate from Council Tax Reduction.
