More than 450,000 households in Scotland are currently receiving a discount on their Council Tax bill.
People struggling to pay their Council Tax during the ongoing cost of living crisis are being encouraged to check if they are eligible for money off their new bill which starts this month. The Council Tax Reduction scheme is unique to Scotland and helps people on low incomes save an average of £750 a year off their bill.
The Council Tax Reduction scheme celebrates its 10th anniversary this month and Scottish households have saved more than £3 billion on their Council Tax since it was introduced. Top Money Stories Today How is Council Tax worked out? How much Council Tax you pay depends on your local authority, which sets an overall amount each year and assigns a ‘band’ to your home, based on its value - it’s isn’t banded by its current market value, but what it was worth on April 1, 1991 - the date Council Tax was introduced.
Could you be eligible for a discount on your Council Tax bill? There are some circumstances where you may get a reduction on your Council Tax and the amount of discount varies depending on your circumstances. Just be aware, this doesn’t apply if the person receiving care is the partner of the carer, or is the carer’s child aged under 18.
If you change the way you pay Although the total year’s amount will stay the same, you can request that your bill be split over 12 months instead of 10, so that you can spread the cost and reduce your monthly outgoings.
