In Scotland, Council Tax Support is usually called Council Tax Reduction (CTR), and it is separate from discounts or exemptions. You apply through your local council, usually online, and you may be considered if you have a low income or receive benefits, although the calculation depends on your household, income, savings and council tax charge. A reduction may cover some or all of the bill, but your council makes the decision based on your circumstances. Check your council’s website or mygov.scot and report changes promptly.
