Since 2013, every council has been required to
set its own Council Tax Support Scheme, setting out how it wants to
help those on low income pay their council tax. The administration
is determined to ensure that residents are no worse off than they
would have been had the original council tax benefit regulations
stayed in place, ensuring that lower income families are supported
by the council. This report is not proposing to make any changes to
the Council Tax Support Scheme for 2022/23 other than the
application of the annual uprating.
