Decision details

The Council needs to agree proposals for the Council Tax support scheme 2014 / 2015.

1.         That the Council continues to award a council tax discount as though the Council Tax Benefit regulations were still in place, meaning that no one currently in receipt of council tax support will be worse off, be approved. 

2.         That the Council adopts what has been known as the government’s “default scheme” for its working age claimants that runs as though the regulations for council tax benefit were still in place, be approved.
