Amount of Discount
The Council will determine how much to award based on the applicant's circumstances and each application will be assessed on its own merits.
Any discount awarded is entirely at the Council's discretion.
The maximum amount of discount to be awarded will be no more than the amount of council tax outstanding after all other discounts have been awarded. As this is a discretion which is only exercised in exceptional circumstances, this will be a 'one-off' award.
The discount will be granted by crediting the value to the council tax account, reducing the amount payable. Applicants will not receive a cash or any other type of payment.
