Get help with your Council Tax

Welcome

This page will give you help on how to apply for savings on Council Tax that you may be eligible for, such as reductions, discounts and exemptions.
It will direct you to your local council website which will provide information on how to apply for these savings (please search for Council Tax reduction if the information does not appear on the council home page). 
It also provides you with an online Council Tax savings tool to check which reductions, discount and exemption that might apply to you.
It will help signpost you to your local CAB should you need any help in applying for any of these savings.
 

Find your local council’s Council Tax reduction page

The links below take you straight to your own council’s webpage, where you can check what Council Tax discounts or reductions you might be eligible for.
Each council sets its own rules, processes, and application forms, so it’s important to read the information on your council’s site to understand what support is available and how to apply.

If you’re unsure about the process or need help completing an application, your local Citizens Advice Bureau can guide you through it. They can explain what the council is asking for, help you gather the right evidence, and support you in applying for any discounts or reductions you’re entitled to.

If you are eligible for the Council Tax Reduction Scheme you will still need to pay the Water & Sewerage part of the council tax bill, no matter the size of the Council Tax Reduction you receive.
