Council Tax Support, sometimes called Council Tax Reduction, is usually available to people on a low income who are liable for Council Tax, including some people in work or receiving benefits. Each council sets its own scheme, so income, savings, household members, age and whether you receive Universal Credit can affect eligibility and the amount awarded. Pension-age applicants may be assessed under different national rules, while working-age rules can vary significantly between councils. Check your council’s policy and apply through its website or GOV.UK; your council will make the final decision based on your circumstances.
