Apply for a Council Tax Reduction if you're having difficulty paying
If you are having financial difficulties and are finding it hard to pay your Council Tax bill, we can help.
You may be able to claim a Council Tax Reduction if you are on a low income. With this you will pay less Council Tax.
You can also:
- see if you can get money off your Council Tax
- ask us if you can have longer to pay your Council Tax and pay your yearly bill over 12 months rather than 10
If you need more help
If you need more support, we may be able to make a one-off payment into your Council Tax account. This is known as discretionary help.
You can apply for discretionary help online.
