Urgent warning to households on Universal Credit over bill rise – how to check if you’re affected
If you receive the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit, you could get a 100% discount.And a pensioner who lives alone will be entitled to a 25% discount too.You might be able to reduce the amount of council tax you pay by challenging your band.
Properties across the UK are put into a band from A to H, and this informs how much council tax you pay. The bands were created based on property values back in 1991, so many households may find that based on today's prices, they should be in a different band.First, you need to find out what band you are in.Use the council tax band checker tool to see which band properties along your street are in.
If they are in a lower band than you are, you could successfully make a challenge and get yours lowered.
