Council Tax Reduction Scheme 2023-24 pdf icon PDF 457 KB

Minutes:

The Executive Member for Corporate Resources presented the report which sought support for the Council Tax Reduction scheme for year 2023-24.

 

The report proposed no change to the current Council Tax Reduction Scheme (CTR) itself but highlights the need to uplift the income thresholds within the bands to reflect any annual uprating in primary benefits. This would protect claimants from any loss of CTR support. The scheme made provision for an uplift to be applied where appropriate.

RECOMMENDED to Council that the Council Tax Reduction Scheme (attached as Appendix A) be adopted for the year 2023-24 with the income amounts uprated in line with any annual uprating in primary benefits.

 

The vote was unanimous.
