Council Tax Support

Council Tax Support (CTS) is for people on low incomes to help them with their Council Tax bill.

Council Tax banding and CTS

If your property has not yet been assigned a Council Tax band by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), you can still apply for Council Tax Support.

Your application will be held on file and processed as soon as the VOA has confirmed the banding for your property. We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible to avoid delays in receiving any support you may be entitled to once the banding is in place.

To find out how Council Tax banding works, visit GOV.UK Check your Council Tax band.
