Government Schemes
As part of the response to the Cost of Living crisis and other significant national events, the Government may require Councils to provide support to residents with their council tax bills through the use of S13A discretionary powers.
Where a reduction relates to a government scheme, the eligibility criteria for the scheme will be as defined by Government. Where further local discretion is allowed, it will be defined by the Council for that specific purpose. All discretionary decisions are made at the absolute discretion of the Council.
