How does Council Tax Support work in Wales and who can apply?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

In Wales, help with Council Tax is usually provided through your local authority’s Council Tax Reduction Scheme. You may qualify if you have a low income or receive certain benefits, but the amount depends on your circumstances, household income, savings and council’s rules. Both working and non-working households can apply, and pension-age and working-age schemes may differ. Apply through your local council and check its website or GOV.UK for the current rules, evidence needed and any deadline.
