You can claim Local Council Tax Support if you are liable to pay Council Tax on the property you are living in.
If you move to a new property, new caravan site or boat mooring please do not wait until you have received your bill before applying for this.
If you are not sure about your liability to pay, please contact the Council Tax department.
Claimants will have to pay at least 15% of their Council Tax bill under this scheme which works out at about £2.80 per person per week. However, in cases of severe financial hardship, you may be entitled to further help.
