Council Tax Support England
In England each local authority has their own Council Tax support scheme, so there may be different support available in different parts of the country.
To find out what Council Tax Support scheme exists in your area you should contact your local authority. You can use the GOV.UK local council finder to find your local authority’s contact details.
You can use the Turn2us Benefits Calculator to find out how much Council Tax Support you may be entitled to.
Local authorities will not be able to change their Council Tax support scheme during a Council Tax billing year. However, they will be able to make changes to their scheme for the start of each new billing year if they wish.
Challenging Decisions
If you are not happy with your Council Tax Support decision you can ask your local authority to review it. If you are not happy with the outcome of the review, you can appeal to the Valuation Tribunal for England.
