Overview

Help may be available to assist you in meeting the cost of your council tax if you are on a low income.

Council Tax Support can pay part or all of your council tax depending on your circumstances, and you can apply whether you are unemployed or working.

The amount of help you could receive is based mainly on who lives with you and the total amount of money you have coming into your household. Even if you own your own home, you may still be able to receive help with your council tax.
