Can I get Council Tax Support if I work?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

Yes, you may still qualify for Council Tax Support while working, as employment does not automatically rule you out. Your council will usually consider your earnings, savings, household income, rent, children and whether you receive benefits such as Universal Credit. The rules and maximum reduction vary between councils, and some schemes have different conditions for working-age and pension-age residents. Check your local council’s website or GOV.UK and apply directly, as the council will decide your entitlement based on your circumstances.
